The nuclear reactor at Oskarshamn was closed down late on Saturday night after a fire broke out at the plant. Although the fire, which broke out in the turbine hall of Unit 2, was quickly put out by the plant’s own emergency services, the reactor and the turbine were closed down as a precautionary measure. It is still unclear when the reactor 2 can be restarted again, with investigations ongoing. “Fires are always serious in this type of facility, but this happened in the conventional turbine hall, which is the same type as all other kinds of power plants, and not in the reactor itself. We need to analyse what caused the fire before we make any commitment to start the installation, but I assume that it should not be too long, because this was a relatively minor incident,” Anders Österberg, Director of Communications at OKG (Oskarshamnsverkets Kraftgrupp, which runs the facility), said. Unit 2 was restarted this week following its annual maintenance
check, though the company said it is too early to speculate over whether the two incidents are connected in any way. “It is true that we've had trouble with vibrations in the turbine hall, but we do not know if it had anything to do with this incident. We hope to be able to answer that tomorrow, ” added Österberg. The Oskarshamn nuclear plant is on Sweden's South West coast, some 30 kilometres north of Oskarshamn. Co-owned by E.ON Sverige and Fortum, its three reactors produce around 10 percent of the country's electricity supply.

1. Actually, as it happened in the turbine room it was a NON-nuke event.

And since nothing actually happened it was pretty much a non-event across the board.

2. I wonder if the people living around this reactor consider this

a non event?

3. Swedes aren't known for being hysterical, so I'd imagine they do. nt

4. Run for the hills - We're all gonna die!!!1!!1 /sarcasm

But because it happened at a nuclear power plant, this was a dangerous nuclear event? More proof nuclear is bad, evil, dirty and dangerous?
The missed or rather dismissed information:
"...this happened in the conventional turbine hall, which is the same type as all other kinds of power plants, and not in the reactor itself."



How many anti-nukers rec' this as more proof nuclear is dangerous?
Some people need to get a better grip on reality.
