There has been a state of emergency at the Astravets NPP.

The production of electricity at the Belarusian nuclear power plant has been temporarily suspended, a representative of the BelNPP information center confirmed to Interfax.

"At the moment we are not generating electricity at the BelNPP. The day before the Ministry of Energy said that some equipment must be replaced (to restore electricity generation - note)," - the information center representative said.

We remind that on Monday morning, the information that the first unit of the Belarusian NPP was not generating power and the turbine had been stopped due to the failure of voltage transformers appeared in the network.

- The firing of several voltage transformers (they are designed to measure voltage in the power circuits) on one of the units connected to the generator caused the shutdown. In fact, nothing out of the ordinary happened, a similar incident has occurred at the Leningrad NPP, but the investigation, restoration of the power supply circuit and re-setting will take a long time - the source of tut.by writes.

According to his information, warranty claims will be made against the transformer manufacturer. But in the near future the plant will not produce energy.
