The planned upgrade work on this unit included installation of an integrated digital control system for plant equipment and replacement of other turbines which power pumps that provide water to the reactor.
Last week, the plant’s Unit 1 resumed operations also after a replacement of damaged turbine blades.
The Unit 1 reactor was shut down in May this year after an inspection of the main turbine in this unit revealed blade damage, and similar damage was also found on the plant’s Unit 2 turbine.
The nuclear plant’s two units produce electricity by boiling water to create steam that passes through turbines which turn a main generator on each unit to generate electricity.
