[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] The Hanul Nuclear Power Plant Unit 2 in Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk, which had been shut down due to turbine steam water quality issues, resumed power generation two days after the incident.

Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Hanul Nuclear Power Headquarters (Head Lee Jong-ho) announced that the water supply system filtration equipment and secondary side feedwater quality, which caused the water quality deterioration of Hanul Nuclear Power Plant Unit 2 (Pressurized Water Reactor type, 950,000 kW class), were normalized, and power generation resumed at 5:29 a.m. on the 6th. The plant is expected to reach 100% output only by 5:30 p.m. on the 7th.

Hanul Nuclear Power Plant was manually shut down at around 4:36 a.m. on the 4th due to exceeding the secondary side water quality standards of the steam generator. The plant had been operating normally since the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission allowed its restart after a safety inspection on February 4.
