According to the information, there was a sudden drop in the number of neutrons in Takahama Nuclear Plant of Kansai Electric Power Company. After this, the system shut down automatically, issuing an alert.
According to the information, no evidence of radiation has been found from the nuclear power plant. According to media reports, this nuclear power plant is located in the central Fukui area of тАЛтАЛJapan, where the investigation is going on for closure after the nuclear reactor alert.
According to the information received from the company, the number 4 reactor was shut down at 3.21 pm. Along with this, the company has told that no indication of any kind of environmental pollution has been found.

it’s happened before
Kansai Electric has informed that a similar incident happened earlier in 1988. When unit number 3 of this reactor was shut down after the alarm. The Fukui prefectural government said that this type of problem occurs due to the fall of neutron detectors or control rods. The control rods present in the reactor control the chain reaction and absorb neutrons.
Let us tell that there are a total of 33 reactors in Japan at present, but after the devastating tsunami in March 2011, less than one-third are working in less than a decade due to faults in the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.
