NSSC Begins Investigation of Gori Unit 3... "No Unusual Findings"
Busan Gori Nuclear Power Plant Unit 3, which was allowed to restart, stopped increasing output due to the activation of safety equipment two days later on the 8th.
The Nuclear Safety and Security Commission announced that around 9:55 a.m. on that day, the auxiliary feedwater pump was automatically activated while raising the reactor output for the power increase test related to the regular inspection of Gori Unit 3, as reported by Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power.
The auxiliary feedwater pump is a safety device that supplies water to the steam generator and operates when the main feedwater pump or other equipment fails.
The NSSC stated that the local field office is assessing the situation and that experts from the Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety (KINS) have been dispatched to investigate the cause.
