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.

EDF said it will replace the affected parts on the two Civaux reactors, resulting in an extended shutdown of the two units.
