Nuclear Power System

The Company operates two nuclear power plants. Nuclear power plant Dukovany consists of four 510MW units which were put into service from 1985 to 1987 and have been refurbished and enhanced later. The second nuclear power plant, Temelín, has two 1,000MW units which have started commercial operation in 2002 and 2003. The Czech parliament has enacted a Nuclear Act which defines certain obligations for the decontamination and dismantling of nuclear facilities and the disposal of radioactive waste and spent fuel . The Act requires that all nuclear parts of plant and equipment be decommissioned following the end of the plant's operating life, currently 2027 for Dukovany and  approximately 2042 for Temelín. A 2008 Dukovany and a 2009 Temelín decommissioning cost study estimate that nuclear decommissioning will cost CZK 17.3 billion and CZK 14.6 billion, respectively. The Company makes contributions to a restricted bank account in the amount of the nuclear provisions recorded under the Act.
