Mazut leakage in Kozienice power plant
16:02
About nine cubic meters of mazut leaked out from one of the boilers in the Kozienice power plant belonging to energy group Enea on Wednesday. The company has said that the leakage was quickly discovered.
A small part of the heavy fuel oil leaked into the nearby Vistula river. Firefighters have already set up a barrier to prevent the leakage from going further. The existing barrier on the power plant premises has turned out not to be effective enough.
Janusz Skulich from the Government Centre for Security told TVN24 that most of the leaked mazut is now in a receptacle between the power plant and the river. Only trace amounts are in the Vistula, he stressed.
