PARIS - France's nuclear regulator said on Thursday that a possible safety problem had been identified at a third nuclear plant, increasing concerns about the country's power capacity at the height of winter.

"The defects that were identified on the last-generation reactors have been found on another reactor" at Penly in northern France, Karine Herviou, deputy chief executive of the French nuclear safety regulator IRSN, said on Thursday. Ten nuclear reactors out of France's 56-strong fleet are currently out of service for various reasons, accounting for about 20 per cent of the country's nuclear capacity.

The group announced extra delays and cost overruns for its troubled new-generation nuclear plant in Flamanville in northern France on Wednesday.
