The unit that was on fire on Monday, 19 August, in the Jaslovske Bohunice nuclear power plant western Slovakia is now fully operational. Oil vapours ignited above one of the turbines of the third unit at the V2 nuclear power plant in Jaslovske Bohunice at the beginning of the week. Employees extinguished the fire with a hand-held fire extinguisher and nuclear safety wasn't endangered, the Nuclear Regulatory Authority reported on its website.
Turbo generator 31 was shut down after local smoke was observed. Subsequently, the reactor power was reduced to 52 percent of nominal power by an automatic controller, and the unit was operating with one turbo generator.
