10 die at plant

AN accident during repair work at Russia’s largest hydroelectric plant yesterday killed at least 10 workers, while as many as 65 others were missing after an engine room was suddenly flooded.

The cause of the accident at the Sayano-Shushenskaya plant in southern Siberia was unclear. Federal investigators said a transformer exploded during repair works, destroying walls and the ceiling in an engine room where turbines are located and causing the room to flood.
