EAST BERLIN — Two reactors will be shut down indefinitely at an aging East German atomic power plant called a “time bomb” in a recent magazine expose, the government nuclear security office said Friday.

A second reactor there was shut down indefinitely last week because of flaws in pressure tank materials.
