Almaraz. APA monitors reactor shutdown at nuclear power plant

The Portuguese Environment Agency (APA) reported that the automatic shutdown of the Unit I reactor at Spain's Almaraz nuclear power plant has no consequences for Portugal. The shutdown was due to turbine protection systems and is classified as level 0 on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale (INES). The APA is monitoring the situation and confirmed that radiation levels in Portugal remain stable. The operator of the plant stated that all parameters are stable and safety systems functioned as intended. The cause of the shutdown is under investigation, and the second unit is operating normally at full power.
