According to the report, it was affected by heavy rainfall on the new north-north coast. Taipower said today that Unit 2 of No.1 Nuclear Power Plant was affected by the collapse of an electric tower on the hillside, and then the protection mechanism was started to trip automatically, making the reactor and generator safe.
Taipower spokesman Lin Defu said that since last night, there has been continuous heavy rain in Jinshan Sanzhi area. This morning, the 345 kV transmission tower collapsed, which made the power of Unit 2 of the First Nuclear Power Plant unable to transmit. Unit 2 of No.1 nuclear power plant automatically tripped due to the protection mechanism. Lin Defu pointed out that there is no problem with the generators and reactors inside the nuclear power plant. At present, Taipower is investigating Unit 2 of the First Nuclear Power Plant, how long it will take for the tower to be repaired, and the power supply replacement scheme is still under study.
It is reported that Unit 2 of the No.1 Nuclear Power Plant is currently operating at 75% power, and the load is expected to drop to about June 10, 1 1. At that time, there will be no fuel to burn and the fuel pool will be full, so it will stop and carry out annual maintenance.
