MUMBAI: Two principal nuclear research reactors of the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) here were shut down last Tuesday when it started raining heavily.
A Department of Atomic Energy spokesman said the Cirus and Dhruva reactors were shut down after the level in the intake well rose. The reactors located at Trombay draw seawater through a specially made well for cooling. The reactor heat is passed to the seawater through a heat exchanger and the warm water is released into the sea.
The shutting down was a routine procedure called `take safe shut down.' He said both the reactors were "healthy."
The third reactor, Apsara, the first nuclear reactor in India and one of the oldest in the world, was shut down for maintenance, the spokesman said."
