Spanish nuclear plant Almaraz reports reactor shutdown

The Almaraz nuclear power plant in Spain reported the shutdown of Unit I due to turbine protection system activation. The operator confirmed that all parameters are stable and investigations are ongoing. The incident is classified as level 0 on the INES scale, with no impact on safety or the environment. Unit II continues to operate at full capacity. The shutdown occurred while the plant was at maximum power, triggered by the main turbine's protection system. The Spanish Ministry of Ecological Transition renewed the operating license for both units until June 2030, following a formal request from the plant's owners.
