Yesterday evening, the operating personnel connected the second Temelín unit to the transmission system. Before Easter, the power engineers planned to disconnect the unit from the transmission system for five days to adjust the turbine mounting.

Today, shortly after 9 p.m., the operating personnel will disconnect the second Temelín unit from the transmission system as planned. The reason is a minor adjustment to the steam turbine mounting settings. The unit should resume electricity supplies early next week. The short-term reduction in production at the Temelín power plant will not affect consumers.

National Atomic Company Kazatomprom JSC (“Kazatomprom” or the “Company”) has signed into a landmark agreement with ČEZ, a. s., marking a significant expansion of its presence in Europe and further strengthening its position in the global uranium market.

This morning the Temelín Unit 2 started generating electricity again. Operators have connected it to the transmission system after replacing part of the fuel assemblies. In terms of the scope of the work and the inspections carried out, it was the largest outage in the history of the plant. In total, they managed 21,000 activities during the shutdown, including 74 investment actions. Power engineers also checked the safety systems, the turbine an its generator. Together with the Dukovany power plant, all six nuclear units are currently in operation.
