 Moscow (AFP) April 3, 2009
 Russian officials shut down the nuclear power station at Kalinin, in the northwest Tver region of Russia, because of a faulty turbine, the Interfax agency reported Friday, citing officials at the station.

The number two block was shut down on Thursday because of a problem with the turbine, said the station's director Leonid Martynovchenko, the agency reported.

It would back up and connected to the energy network by Saturday, once repairs had been completed, said Martynovchenko.

The number three reactor was under control and no violation of safety conditions had been noted, he said, adding that radioactivity levels at the station and in the surrounding area had not risen above natural levels.
