Problems are close to welds that form part of safety injection system circuit The faults were first found on pipes in a safety system at the Civaux nuclear power station. French nuclear operator EDF has found faults on pipes in a safety system at its Civaux nuclear power station and has shut down the Chooz nuclear station because it uses the same kind of reactors.

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.
