The 1,000-MW nuclear power plant at Kudankulam stopped generation on Thursday night, following a steam leak, Power System Operation Corporation Ltd (POSOCO) said.
The unit was restarted on January 30 after nearly seven months of maintenance shutdown.
According to POSOCO, the atomic power plant outage happened at around 8:35 pm due to steam leak in the secondary side.
On Thursday, the power generation touched the day’s peak of 757 MW while the average generation for the day was 582 MW.
The unit is expected to restart operation on February 7.
