STOCKHOLM, March 9 (Xinhua) -- A damaged nuclear reactor in Sweden that was due to be restarted in mid-March has been hit by yet more delays, the country's TT news agency reported on Thursday.

Ringhals 4 was originally scheduled to be relaunched last November, following repairs of a pressure vessel that was damaged in August. The restart date was first pushed back to January, then to Feb. 24 and March 19, but the reactor will now not be operational until March 23, TT reported.
