A nuclear power plant in east China's Jiangsu Province is in safe
condition although a fire occurred in late August in a transformer, company
sources said yesterday.
The transformer in the Tianwan nuclear power plant caught fire at 5:32 p.m.
on Aug. 26 due to a short circuit, however, the blaze was immediately
extinguished, a plant source said, adding it was just "an ordinary incident".
The National Nuclear Safety Administration carried out an on-the-spot check
soon after the incident and then assigned inspectors to Jiangsu Nuclear Power
Co. Ltd. for a special inspection of nuclear safety.
No radiation leaked and the plant functioned normally, the inspectors
confirmed.
Tianwan nuclear power plant is the largest ever technological and economic
cooperation project between China and Russia.
