The state-run Energoatom nuclear operator said in a statement that there was no increase in radiation levels at the troublesome reactor No. 2 in the Khmelnytskyy nuclear-power plant.
The statement added that the faulty pump's valves were shut down manually.
The No. 2 reactor at Khmelnytskyy has experienced a series of automatic shutdowns since its launch last year.
Ukraine operates 15 nuclear reactors, and says it is committed to modernizing all of them.
