Power unit No.3 shut down at Zaporizhzhya NPP
The third unit at the Zaporizhzhya NPP has been disconnected from the network, according to the press service of Energoatom.
The trip happened around 7:30 in the morning. It is noted that this happened to protect against internal damage to the generator.
The reasons for the shutdown at the moment were not disclosed. In addition, Energoatom did not specify how long until power unit No. 3 will be connected to the grid.
“Currently, there are five power units at Zaporizhzhya NPP. The total capacity of the generators is 4,390 MW,” the report said.
There are no comments on the operation of the main equipment of the existing power units and personnel. In addition, the background radiation in the area of the ZNPP location and in the sanitary protection zone is 8-12 microroentgen per hour. This indicator corresponds to the natural background radiation.
