We have located the fault in a cable that needs to be replaced, says Martin Danielsson, emergency communications officer at Forsmark, to Aftonbladet.

The fault was discovered on Friday, and according to the forecast, production will not restart until Friday next week.

We want a good safety margin, so we have chosen to stop production during the work, says Danielsson.

Currently, only one of the three reactors, Forsmark 2, is running. Forsmark 1 is shut down for annual maintenance.
