The operator of the Elmarez nuclear power plant (Spain) notified the Nuclear Safety Council (CSN) on Thursday of an automatic shutdown of the reactor of the first power unit. The shutdown was caused by the shutdown of the main turbine, which, in turn, occurred due to the activation of the generator protection. It was reported that the security systems worked as usual, the station is in a safe state. As noted in the local media, similar stops happened in the past, for example in June 2020 and June 2025. In May, the same power unit had to stop its operation due to a fault and was shut down for inspection a few weeks later. Energy today without VPN: max / site.
