Unit 1 of the Beznau nuclear power plant (KKB) was resynchronized with the grid around midday and electricity production was resumed.
A fault in the Beznau substation - probably due to lightning strike - triggered a rapid shutdown of Unit 1 of the Beznau nuclear power plant (KKB). The system reacted as designed. The safety of the employees and the population was guaranteed at all times.
