Cette déclaration d’indisponibilité fait suite à la découverte d’une fuite sur la ligne de débit minimal à un niveau de 60 gouttes par minute. La fuite a été isolée et le système placé en sécurité. Ce circuit d’injection à haute pression est un système de sécurité unique. Sa défaillance pourrait empêcher l’accomplissement d’une fonction de sécurité nécessaire à l’atténuation des conséquences d’un accident.
