A nuclear power reactor at the Kaiga Generating Station (KGS) here was shut down after a smoke detection alarm went off yesterday. A smoke detection alarm appeared in the control room of Unit 3 yesterday around 4.30 am, following which the 220 MWe nuclear power plant was shut down, the Nuclear Power Corporation said in a statement here. "On inspection of the respective area, it has been found that there was nothing abnormal," Station Director J P Gupta said. As an abundant precaution, the unit was shut down, he said. The nuclear plant operator said routine surveillance tests were planned for Unit-3 before May, when the plant was to be shut down for a couple of weeks. "Having the unit in shut down state, decision is taken to utilise this opportunity and carry out these tests now itself," the NPCIL said.
