Spain's nuclear reactors are ready to reconnect to the grid, except Trillo, after a blackout. Safety measures were effective, says the council.
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.

The Trillo plant is currently shut down for refueling and is not part of the reconnection process.
Emergency generators were activated to maintain safety for both operating and non-operating reactors during the blackout.
