It is unclear how long it will take before Ringhals learns why the fuel elements broke down in 2015. The delay is due to yesterday’s accident, in which a so-called fuel rod contained in element went off.
the four-meter-long rod broke during a routine check.
today, efforts are underway to take care of the various parts to the inspection of the disconnected and scrapped the fuel element can continue.
the first part of the rod remains in the grip tool used in control. The other part ended up in a special container, which was in place as a safety measure.
No increased radiation has been measured and there is no reason for concern, according to press manager Krister Svahn.
– Everything worked as it should in our security system, he said.
There was no interruption in the operation. But the routine checks that went on in connection with the fuel rod went off, got canceled.
