The third power unit of the Forsmark nuclear power plant in Sweden was shut down after a "short circuit".
- What happened is that the protection of one of our cooling systems failed. We discovered a fault in the cable that needed to be replaced," says Martin Danielson, Forcemark's Emergency Communications Officer.
The three reactors at the Forsmark nuclear power plant typically provide about one-sixth of Sweden's electricity. Production is not expected to resume until Friday next week. Forsmark-1 is down for annual maintenance.
