Yesterday evening, the Temelín Unit 1 began to supply electricity to the grid again. Operators connected it to the transmission system after replacing the partial refuelling. It will be in operation for fourteen months, four months longer than before. The energy engineers also converted the control of part of the technology into a new Westinghouse system, checked safety systems, the turbine or the generator. Together with the Dukovany power plant, six nuclear units are currently in operation.

Historically, the first batch fuel assemblies from Westinghouse have arrived at the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant. They follow deliveries to Temelín. Fuel supply diversification of suppliers and the first deliveries represent a strengthen the Czech Republic’s energy security.

This will involve inspections of the safety systems and turbine, 70 investment projects and the replacement of some of the fuel assemblies. These are just some of the most significant tasks that will be carried out during the planned shutdown of the first unit at the Temelin Nuclear Power Plant. Energy technicians will disconnect the unit from the transmission system tomorrow evening. In total, ČEZ plans to carry out over 16,000 activities, for which it has provisionally allowed two months.
