An operational event at Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station on July 13 did not affect the plant's safe operation, the Security Bureau said today.

 

During a routine inspection, station staff found that a ventilator in the electrical plant of the station's unit 1 was rotating in a reverse direction. They immediately rectified the ventilator's rotation direction according to the procedures.

 

After the adjustment, it was confirmed that the ventilator had resumed normal function.

 

The event did not affect the normal operation of the plant's equipment, and the unit remained in a safe condition.

 

The bureau said the event was classified as a Level 0 deviation in accordance with the International Nuclear & Radiological Event Scale and relevant nuclear safety regulations, adding that it did not affect the unit's safe operation, workers' health, nearby public or the environment.
