Spain's Nuclear Reactors Set to Reconnect to Power Grid

MADRID (Reuters) - The operators of Spain's nuclear reactors are preparing to reconnect to the power grid as they recover their external electricity supply, the country's nuclear safety council said on Monday.

The only exception is the Trillo plant, which is shut down for refueling, it said.

The nuclear safety council had said earlier that the reactors were in safe condition after a power blackout hit the country.

Four reactors stopped operating automatically after the outage, after which emergency generators kicked in.

For three reactors that weren't in operation at the time, emergency generators also started working to keep them in a safe condition, the council said.
