December 1 (SeeNews) - Bulgaria's sole nuclear power plant (NPP) Kozloduy said that it may need to shut down Unit 6, one of its two 1,000-MW units, due to a technical issue with its third steam generator.
There is no deviation from normal radiation levels at the plant and none are expected to arise from works to restore the unit's functioning, the plant operator said in a statement published on its website on Wednesday.
In the course of the unit's regular operation, the plant operator registered indications of leakage of coolant from the first to the second circuit in the third steam generator, it added. The leakage is within the safety limits.
Unit 6 was reconnected to the grid in early November after being shut down for about a week due to a non-nuclear technical problem with the cooling system of the generator.
