Le 1er mai 2003, lors d'opérations de remplissage de la piscine du bâtiment réacteur, une alarme indiquant un niveau d'eau trop faible s'est déclenchée. Durant les opérations, une succession d'erreurs a conduit à la modification du lignage (c'est-à-dire du branchement des tuyauteries et des ouvertures et fermetures de vannes) et à la vidange lente de la piscine. Les opérateurs ont amorcé le remplissage de la piscine du réacteur, de façon à annuler l'alarme au bout de 15 minutes. 2, record 1, French, - erreur%20de%20lignage
