MOSCOW, November 29 (RIA Novosti) - A turbo generator from the fourth energy unit of the Novovoronezh Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in Voronezh was shut down Tuesday by an automated protection system, Rosenergoatom, a state-owned nuclear power generating company, said in a statement Tuesday.
The company said there were no safety violations in operating the NPP's energy units and the cause of the turbo generator's shut down is being studied.
The Novovoronezh NPP, 550 km south of Moscow, was the first nuclear power plant in Russia to use water-cooled power reactors.
