The Paks nuclear power plant reported a reactor trip on Thursday caused by a technical malfunction.
The malfunction caused an automatic shutdown of the plant’s number four block at 3.45am, operator MVM Paksi Atomerőmű said on its website. The trip has no effect on nuclear safety, the operator said, adding that experts are working to resolve the issue. Each of the plant’s four blocks has a nominal capacity of 500MW. Paks accounts for about half of domestic electricity production.
