Dukovany-2 unit shutdown for safety checks

The Dukovany-2 nuclear reactor has been shut down for unscheduled safety checks. The safety checks focus on possible problems with valves in the pressurized area. Operator ČEZ said that there was no danger to the operation of the unit or the surrounding environment as the reactor was powered down on Thursday. The unit had returned to operation only on Saturday after a long six month shutdown for safety checks and partial fuel loading.
