The nuclear power plant Ringhals 4 will not be able to start as planned after the summer’s annual maintenance. A critical component has broken and it will take three months to repair. “It is very unfortunate that Ringhals 4 will be idle for longer than planned,” says Ringhals CEO Björn Linde in a press release. Ringhals 4 was shut down in mid-August for annual maintenance and fuel change. In connection with a mandatory test when the plant was to be restarted after shutdown, the pressure vessel, which is one of the plant’s major components, was damaged. The repairs are estimated to take three months. We broadcast live about the news in the player above.
