Meer Koreaanse reactoren stilgelegd wegens valse certificaten

South Korea is suspending the operations of two nuclear power reactors and extending a shutdown of a third for maintenance to replace cables that were supplied using fake certificates, the country's nuclear regulator said on Tuesday.

The country previously halted the operations of some of its 23 reactors last November after a scandal emerged over parts being supplied using fake documents.

Asia's fourth-largest economy is heavily dependent on oil, gas and coal imports, but usually gets about a third of its electricity from nuclear power generation.
