The Bohunice nuclear power plant is located 2.5 km from the village of Jaslovské Bohunice in the Trnava district of western Slovakia. On February 22, 1977, the A-1 reactor suffered a major INES 4 accident during reloading. A desiccant bag accompanying the package was inadvertently placed in the core with the nuclear fuel. This limited the circulation of the coolant, causing local overheating and serious damage. As in Simi Valley, this reactor was finally closed in 1978 and is still in the dismantling phase.
