EDF said that during preventive maintenance checks on the primary circuit of the Civaux-1 nuclear plant, in the Vienne department of western France, faults were detected close to the welds on the pipes of the safety injection system circuit. The French nuclear safety authority, ASN, has been told.
EDF said the checks were carried out as part of Civaux’s 10-yearly inspection.
Checks on the same equipment at Civaux-2 revealed similar defects.
EDF said it will replace the affected parts on the two Civaux reactors, resulting in an extended shutdown of the two units.

China's Ministry of Ecology & Environment (MEE) said on 16 June that there had been no leak at the Taishan NPP in Guangdong Province and rejected allegations by CNN that the National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA) had raised the permitted radiation levels near the plant. NNSA had reviewed specifications for noble gases used in the reactor coolant at Taishan, but this had "nothing to do with the detection of any radiation outside the nuclear plant”, MEE said.

An increase in the concentration of noble gases in the primary circuit of the Taishan 1 EPR is related to a few damaged fuel rods, China's National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA) confirmed today. It said the increase is "a common phenomenon" and is still in accordance with the requirements of the plant's operating technical specifications. Earlier this week, France's Framatome - which designed the EPR - said the unit was experiencing a "performance issue".
