Malfunction triggers emergency shutdown at Finnish reactor : Regulation & Safety - World Nuclear News: An automatic shutdown yesterday of unit 2 at the Olkiluoto nuclear power plant in Finland was caused by a fault in the purification system for the reactor cooling water, which led to a temporary increase in radiation levels in the circuit, Finnish utility Teollisuuden Voima said. The emergency standby resulting from the incident has now ended and repair work is under way to bring the unit back online.
