Submission + - Nuclear power plant was shut down at Busan, South Korea due to heavy rain
The massive rain also halted the operation of a nuclear reactor in Busan.
The Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Co. (KHNP) manually stopped operation of the Gori-2 nuclear power plant in Busan for safety reason due to excessive water in the area.
There were no signs of a radiation leak or of any immediate risk, the KHNP said. It was the first time in history that a Korean nuclear reactor had been shut down because of rain. The Gori-2 reactor has been in operation since July 1983.
