Incident Reports

On Monday 16th August piling was being undertaken for the retaining wall at external services on the Evaporator D project.

The piling rig caused a mercury temperature sensor in a sub-station to trip and as a consequence power was lost for a short time to a number of surrounding facilities.

The loss of power caused emergency shutdown systems to activate automatically and the affected plants were safely shutdown.

All plants were quickly returned to service, nobody was injured and there was no risk to nuclear safety.

This event has been classified as below the International Nuclear Events Scale.
