LUXEMBOURG: Slovenia on Thursday blamed a faulty valve for a water leak at a nuclear plant, seeking to play down the incident as European Union ministers from Austria and other nations questioned the safety of nuclear reactors. The Slovenian authorities shut down the plant in Krsko, near the Slovene-Croatian border, after the leak Wednesday evening. The leak was confined to the plant building and caused no damage, the plant authorities said.

On Wednesday officials in Slovenia shocked the European Union with what seemed to be a rather serious accident in the country's only nuclear power plant, but a day later officials were backtracking. The European Commission on Wednesday evening through a special emergency alarm system, the European Community Urgent Radiological Information Exchange, issued an EU-wide warning to all 27 member states, after cooling water had leaked from a power plant in Krsko, Slovenia.
