“The unused fuel will certainly be a loss, but on the other hand it will be compensated by being able to increase the output of the reactor,” CEZ spokeswoman Eva Novakova said.
Earlier, CEZ thought of using both the types of fuel from Russia and Westinghouse temporarily in Temelin’s two reactors but lastly it decided to use the fuel from Russia.
The company said that increase in performance of the reactors and reduced downtimes using the Russia’s fuel would enable the company to meet a target of raising 2012 production at its two nuclear power plants to 31 terawatt hours from the current 26 terawatt hours.
