6. Nuclear plant shuts down to make repairs.

Mechanical system components need repairs from time to time. When that happens, operations often have to cease during repairs. This is an ordinary event, and has nothing to do with nuclear plants specifically.

Nuclear power generation is not safe. It has never been safe, and cannot made to be safe. That said, normal repairs and maintenance are hardly hazardous events, and don't really need to be reported on this website every time they occur.
