Stockholm - Sweden's Forsmark nuclear reactor shutdown in July will remain silent due to new technical faults, a spokesman for the state Nuclear Power Inspectorate reported Saturday in Stockholm. A reactivation approved on Thursday failed on Saturday afternoon due to a fault in the reactor's control system, the report said. On July 25, two of four backup generators malfunctioned when a reactor at the Forsmark plant shutdown. The generators were supposed to start automatically. Swedish nuclear authorities have required both Forsmark reactors and two reactors of similar type at the Oskarshamn plant to be shut down till the end of the year. © 2006 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
