Unit 1 of the Rostov NPP, which is located 16 km from Volgodonsk, was disconnected from the grid due to a detected defect in the turbine. This was reported by the press service of JSC "Concern Rosenergoatom".
Employees of the nuclear facility will fix the defect and connect the power unit to the grid, and then bring it to its nominal capacity.
