Russia reconnects unit at Rostov nuclear plant, TASS reports

A power unit at the Rostov nuclear power plant in southern Russia that was disconnected on Friday because of a turbine defect, was reconnected to the grid, TASS news agency reported on Sunday, citing Russia's state nuclear energy company Rosatom.

The Rostov nuclear plant is the largest energy-generating facility in southern Russia, with a total capacity of 4,071 megawatts. It provides around 75% of the power generation in the Rostov region and is connected to the grid of other southern regions.
