NPP Temelin is going to check the turbine of Unit 1

Operators disconnected the first production unit from the transmission grid. The reason for this was increased turbo generator vibration, very likely due to fluctuations in outside temperatures. The work is not related to the primary, ie nuclear circuit.

Increased vibration of some parts of Unit 1 steam turbine was recorded by operators at the weekend. Currently, the turbine generator is shut down and the reactor at thirty percent power. Today, turbine experts will carry out the first part of the tests. Connection of the unit to the transmission system will depend on their results.
