Chernobyl's 3rd power unit may resume operation on Dec 2. KIEV, November 28 (Itar-Tass) - The nuclear regulation department of the Ukrainian Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources does not rule out the possibility of a resumption of the operation of the third power unit of the Chernobyl nuclear power station (CNPS) which was disconnected on Monday due to a short-circuit on the Chernobyl-Vinnitsa power transmission line due to its icing up. Vadim Grischenko, deputy head of the nuclear regulation department, told journalists on Tuesday that the power unit may be allowed to resume operation if the managing organisation ration confirms that the current condition of the power unit, piping in the reactor's cooling systems, in particular, does not require prolonged repairs. A CNPS management official said a resumption of the operation of the third power unit, the only working one out of the station's four, is slated for December 2. pop/gor (c) 1996-2000 ITAR-TASS.
