Hot sea water forces Swedish nuclear power plant to shut
Stockholm, July 31 : Unusually high sea water temperature has forced Swedish nuclear power plant to close, authorities said on Monday.
The sea water's temperature outside one of Sweden's nuclear plants has forced the plant to close down temporarily. As the sea water reached a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, it can no longer be used for a cooling effect.
"In order for us to secure the needed cooling capacity, we have decided to take Ringhals 2 nuclear power plant out of operation," Xinhua quoted Ringhals' Production Manager Sven-Anders Andersson as saying.
Two other nuclear power plants, Ringhals 3 and 4, are still working normally. Meanwhile, Ringhals 1 is on its annual planned maintenance.
Sea temperatures as high as this are unusual in Sweden. During the 21st century, this is the second time a nuclear power plant is closed for the same reason.

UP: 90 Bangladeshis, including 28 children, held in Mathura for illegal stay
Mathura (UP), May 16 (PTI): As many as 90 Bangladeshi nationals, including many children, were apprehended from Uttar Pradesh's Mathura district on Friday for alleged illegal stay in India, officials said.
They were taken into custody from local brickyards at Khajpur village under the Naujheel police station limits, a senior officer said.
"Regular searches were being conducted throughout the district. During one such operation, police were searching some local brickyards when they came across Bangladeshi nationals working there," SSP Shlok Kumar said.
Giving a break-up, the officer said in all, 35 men, 27 women and 28 children have been taken into custody.
"During interrogation, all of them admitted to being Bangladeshi nationals living illegally in India. They moved to Mathura three to four months back from a neighbouring state. Police are trying to establish their links," the SSP said, adding that their job contractor and other associates are also being questioned.
The officer told PTI that police also recovered some Aadhaar cards from the Bangladeshi nationals, apparently issued on forged documents in some other state.
Further legal proceedings are underway, Kumar said.
