     KYIV.  May  9  (Interfax)  -  Power  unit  2 of the South Ukrainian
nuclear  power  plant  was  cut off from the national power grid at 5:37
p.m. on May 8 because of a false activation of a turbine safety system.
     The   reasons   that   prompted  the  false  activation  have  been
eliminated, and the reactor is being brought to the minimum controllable
capacity level, the power plant's press service reported on Friday.
     The  restarting  operations  did  not  involve violations of safety
regulations, it said.
     Power units 1 and 3 are operating as usual.
     The  radiation  levels  on  the  plant's  territory  are within the
permissible limits, it said.
