Troubles were detected in the operation of one of the power units of the South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant (South Ukraine NPP, Mykolaiv Region), while no accidents occurred at the South Ukraine NPP.
This is stated in the message of the Energoatom national nuclear energy generating company on its Telegram channel, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
"An issue was detected in the operation of one of the power units of the station, after which it was unloaded by 33% of the nominal capacity - in accordance with the regulations due to the presence of the issue. The issue will be eliminated after the specialists of Ukrenergo restore the damaged lines and ensure the possibility of issuing electricity," the statement said.
According to the report, this event is not related to the maintenance campaign.
"The specified situation arose as a result of complex transitional regimes that occurred due to enemy shelling of the Ukrenergo infrastructure and were accompanied by significant fluctuations in the parameters of the network (frequency, voltage, current), to which the power units were connected, with the disconnection of the power units from the network," the message reads.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in July the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed the emergency situation at the South Ukraine NPP.
The IAEA has 3 power units of the VVER-1000 type with a total installed electric capacity of about 3 GW.
