MODENA – Alle 10 di oggi si è verificato un incidente tecnico che ha compromesso il regolare funzionamento del sistema elettrico presso il Campus del Dipartimento di Ingegneria “Enzo Ferrari” di Modena. L’anomalia, attribuibile a un guasto in uno dei trasformatori elettrici principali, ha portato all’isolamento energetico dell’intera struttura. Come misura di sicurezza immediata, il Campus è stato completamente evacuato: al momento del black out erano presenti, oltre al personale docente e tecnico-amministrativo, erano presenti circa 150 studenti e studentesse, partecipanti a una summer school e a sessioni di esami programmate. Sul posto i Vigili del Fuoco, assieme ai tecnici di Hera e dell’Università, che stanno ancora lavorando per risolvere il problema. Unimore si aspetta un completo ritorno alla normalità operativa entro la giornata di domani.
