[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The turbine of Shin-Kori Nuclear Power Plant Unit 4 in Ulju-gun, Ulsan, has stopped.

The reactor is currently maintaining a safe condition, and there are no reports of radiation leakage.

Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Saeul Nuclear Power Headquarters stated, "At around 1:27 PM on the 26th, during a regular turbine valve test at the pressurized water reactor type (1400 MW) Shin-Kori Unit 4, a turbine stop signal occurred, causing the turbine to automatically shut down."

A Saeul Headquarters official said that Shin-Kori Unit 4 is maintaining stable reactor output at about 50%, and there is no impact such as radiation leakage.

Saeul Headquarters is investigating the detailed cause of the turbine shutdown.

The turbine of Shin-Kori Unit 4 was stopped due to a fire in May last year and was restarted in July. The fire occurred in the auxiliary equipment supplying power to the generator at that time.
