Central power plants eye urgent repairs
Four power plants in the central provinces of Nghệ An, Quảng Trị and Thừa Thiên-Huế have been asked to undertake urgent repairs before the flooding season arrives. Tô Xuân Bảo, deputy director of the environmental and technical safety agency under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, has asked Nghệ An-based Nậm Mô, Nậm Pông and Quảng Trị-based Hạ Rào Quán, and the Thừa Thiên-Huế-based A Roàng power plants to conduct swift repairs at their facilities. Bảo, who was leading a team investigating safety situation on power plants earlier this month, said Nậm Mô had minor cracks in its reservoir walls and repair was essential soon.
