    The site has been cordoned off pending a technical investigation.

  • The price of electricity increases sharply after a reactor shutdown

    The electricity price will increase significantly at the beginning of next week, TT reports. In pricing on the Nordic electricity exchange Nord Pool, electricity prices rise sharply ahead of Monday’s trading. In northern Sweden, price levels are now the highest since January.

    The average price for Monday in electricity areas SE3 and SE4 – in southern Sweden – rises to SEK 1:67 per kilowatt hour. In the electricity areas SE1 and SE2 – in northern Sweden – the daily price rises to SEK 1:35 per kilowatt hour.

    The price level can be compared with price levels in the country between 28 and 83 öre per kilowatt hour on Friday and 33 öre to 1:32 kroner per kilowatt hour during the weekend.

    The price increase comes, among other things, after OKG AB, which operates the nuclear power plant in Oskarshamn, took reactor 3 out of operation for just over a week last Friday. During the stop, what is described as a “fuel damage” must be repaired.

    The reactor normally produces 1,400 megawatts, which corresponds to 10 percent of Sweden’s electricity needs.

    Since August last year, reactor 4 at the Ringhals nuclear power plant has also been out of operation, with a planned restart on March 19.

    Over 4,000 kilos of kebab meat must be thrown away in Norway after salmonella was discovered in the factory where the meat is handled, reports The daily newspaper.

    The source of the infection is still unknown.

    – The salmonella finding was made after a routine sampling of the Fresh Food business in Moss. The batch in question has not been put on the market, but stopped at the company and then sent to be destroyed, says Jorunn Aasgaard Grini, head of department for the department Østfold and Follo at the Food Safety Authority in Norway, to the newspaper.

    Thousands of people have been forced to flee after a fire broke out in one of the world’s largest refugee camps in Bangladesh, the refugee agency UNHCR said on Twitter.

    The camp has been hit by violent fires several times. Among other things, 2021 when 30,000 refugees were forced to leave the camp and several people died.

  • A death in fire

    Thousands of protesters have gathered outside the parliament building in Athens, Greece on Sunday.

    Unions for railway workers have been raising the alarm for years about the safety of the Greek railways, which have long been considered the deadliest in Europe.

    Inadequate security systems, inadequate signaling systems, staff shortages and substandard training are some of the problems raised by the unions.

    The protests started after the fatal train accident in the country, when a passenger train with around 350 people collided head-on with a freight train on February 28.

    At least 57 people died and around 80 more were injured. Several are still missing.

    It is still unclear why the trains were on the same track.

  • Found dog – the police were looking for the owner

    Late on Saturday evening, the police were contacted that a loose dog had been found in Skellefteå.

    The dog, which is a male and has a chip, was handed in to the station in the hope that an owner would be found.

    But on Sunday, no owner has yet come forward, and the police are now looking for the person or people who own the dog.

    If you know anything about the dog, you can contact the police on 114 14.

    Update: The dog’s owner has been contacted. In a previous publication there was a picture of the dog, it has now been removed.

  • The police fired warning shots

    During Saturday evening, the police fired a warning shot in Kramfors.

    The police were called to the scene due to vandalism.

    – Then they meet a suspicious person outside. In connection with this, a threatening situation arose and then a warning shot was fired, says Marie Andersson, press spokesperson at police region North.

    The man was taken into custody and no one was injured.

  • They were caught with explosives

    A 45-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of preparing for public destruction outside the municipality of Mariestad.

    The police were alerted in the afternoon on Saturday and were then able to carry out “initial measures” which led to the arrest of the 45-year-old.

    – I cannot tell you much about what has happened. Generally speaking, preparation for public destruction is about causing danger to life or destroying someone else’s property, says Anna Hammarbäck, press spokesperson at the police.

    On Sunday, the Public Prosecutor’s Office announced that the man has been arrested on probable cause on suspicion of preparation for public destruction and violation of the Act on Flammable and Explosive Goods.

    – What I can say is that the man had explosives at this place where he was arrested, says Robin Simonsson, communicator at the Prosecutor’s Office.

    Do you know what is happening in the food industry? One day there was an alarm about salmonella in eggs from several different stores. The next day, listeria in meatballs – and today I read about 4,000 kg of kebabs being thrown away because of salmonella.

    Has the industry become careless with hygiene, or what is this due to? Thank you if you can give an answer!

    Happy ? Wasalop Sunday!
