Glitch Found at Russian Reactor
Glitch Found at Russian Reactor
MOSCOW (AP) - Operators discovered a minor glitch at Russia's
newest nuclear power plant during start-up tests, Russia's
state-owned nuclear power company said Monday. No radiation leaked during Sunday's tests, which pushed
non-radioactive steam through the generating turbines at the Rostov
nuclear power plant near the southern city of Volgodonsk, the
company, Rosenergoatom, said in a statement. But steam leaked from the secondary cooling pipes, the statement
said. Engineers fixed the problem and continued the test. The secondary cooling system carries hot water from the reactor
core to power generators and is a less critical system than the
primary cooling pipes that contain radioactive water under immense
pressure. The Rostov plant was the first new nuclear plant launched in the
former Soviet Union since the Chernobyl explosion in 1986, which
spewed nuclear waste over large territories of Ukraine, Belarus and
Russia and other areas of Europe. The Rostov reactor is a VVER-1000 design, considered safer than
the RBMK model at Chernobyl.
