high-voltage line

It followed a strike near the site's perimeter, close to essential water sprinkler ponds and about 100m from the only remaining high-voltage line.

The agency said the impact of the strike was on a road just outside the facility - close to essential water sprinkler ponds and about 100m from the only remaining high-voltage line.

According to state broadcaster RUV, power had been cut off to the largely abandoned town of Grindavik to protect a high-voltage line that was at risk.

From the north, one high-voltage line is planned to bring power 107 miles from a sub-station at Spittal near Wick in Caithness, across sensitive peatlands, past Sutherland's eastern villages of Golspie and Brora, over the Kyle of Sutherland near Bonar Bridge and through Easter Ross to Beauly.

Going south from Beauly, a high-voltage line has been part of the national electricity grid since 2015.
