Nuclear Plant Shuts Down Due to Rising Waters

Krško, 27 November - The Krsko nuclear power plant (NEK) shut down automatically at 7:35 AM on Thursday due to rising waters of the Sava river. The river was carrying large amounts of dirt as a result of all-night rains, so filters were unable to clear enough water to ensure safe operation. According to the NEK management, the plant is to be reconnected to the grid within 24 hours.
