Dettingen – An automatic rapid shutdown occurred at the Betznau (canton Aargau) nuclear power plant in Switzerland on Monday afternoon. Energy company Axpo announced that the first reactor block was shut down due to a failure in the non-nuclear part of the nuclear power plant. The quick closure occurred around 2:10 p.m. The cause was a level control failure in one of the two steam generators. The principal has been disconnected from the Internet and is in a safe state.
