Yerevan, 14 July: The Armenian Nuclear Power Plant [NCP] was
disconnected from the country's energy system at 1023 local time
[0523 gmt] today, Gagik Markosyan, head of the NCP, has told an
Arminfo correspondent.
He said the plant had been halted because a false protection system
had started operating. There was no breach of nuclear or radiation
security, he stressed. He said that the plant would be again connected
to the country's energy system tomorrow.
The NCP's output went down to 1,458m kWh, i.e. by 4 per cent, over
the first six months of 2006. The plant is planned to be halted for
repairs and filling with nuclear fuel on 1 October 2006.
