BERLIN (Reuters) – The operator of the Isar II nuclear power plant in southern Germany has informed the environment ministry of a leak at the site, which has not compromised security but could require repair work, the ministry said on Monday.
A week-long repair period would be necessary in the month of October, during which operations would come to a standstill, if the power plant is to operate beyond Dec. 31 as part of the government’s reserve plan for nuclear power, the ministry added.
