The Ringhals 4 nuclear power plant will not be able to start as planned after the summer’s annual maintenance after a component broke during the restart. 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. The stop will have a significant price impact, says electricity price analyst Daniel Lindén. Watch an interview with him in the clip above.
