CEZ operates a fleet of six nuclear reactors (on the sites of Dukovany and Temelin) which provide 31% of the Czech Republic’s electricity generation.
CEZ has recently mentioned its intent to increase its fleet of nuclear reactors, with the construction of two new units during the next decade.
CEZ declared: “We consider the execution of the future EUP deliveries (Enriched Uranium Product) as a new challenge which will require a very close co-operation with AREVA. This contract is a very important part of our long-term diversification of supply strategy.”
“We are very pleased to renew our collaboration with a Central European Utility. This success is a sign of the confidence placed by our Czech customer in AREVA’s know-how and reliability,” said François-Xavier Rouxel, executive president of Areva’s Enrichment business unit.
