ČEZ to boost fuel stocks for nuclear power plants

Czech power company ČEZ announced Monday that it will increase its stocks of nuclear fuel for both its Temelín and Dukovany nucler power plants. Temelin’s spokesman said the second unit would be brought into line with the first and the fuel reserve increased to two years from the existing one. At Dukovany the target is to build up a three year reserve for the reactor this year from the current two year stock. Building up nuclear fuel reserves was one of the targets of the Czech long term energy framework adopted in June last year.
