"I suspect it will take several weeks for the plant to be restarted," Herbert Schnelle, spokesman for the state's energy and finance ministry, which oversees nuclear power, told Reuters.
The plant with a capacity of 806 megawatt (MW) was shut on Monday after safety experts found tearing in the tube system.
It belongs two-thirds to utility HEW and one-third to E.ON .
