Spain: Nuclear Plant Suffers Setback
Jul 15 - United Press International
Officials say a nuclear power plant in Spain has suffered its fourth
technical failure in two weeks, raising concern about the country's energy
infrastructure.
The Confrentes nuclear power station in Valencia had its power reduced by 30
percent during the most recent failure before technicians could make
repairs, El Pais newspaper reported Tuesday.
The weekend setback at the station followed last week's failure at
Confrentes, which prompted officials to sound a pre-emergency warning.
Spanish nuclear energy officials however maintain there is no risk for
residents living near the plant. |
