ÄŒEZ has submitted to the Czech government its evaluation of the bids received from France's EDF and South Korea's Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power for the construction of a new nuclear power plant at Dukovany.

High temperature superconducting tapes for use in the UK's prototype fusion power plant will be tested in a Czech research reactor following the signing of an agreement between the UK Atomic Energy Authority and Research Centre Řež.

The European Commission has approved the Czech Republic's proposed public support package for new nuclear - after a series of modifications were made to address their concerns during an inquiry which began in June 2022.

ÄŒEZ and its Elektrárna Dukovany II subsidiary have received binding bids from Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power and France's EDF for the construction of four new nuclear units in the Czech Republic.

The modernisation of existing nuclear power units in the Czech Republic has added extra capacity equivalent to the output of a large coal-fired power plant, operator ÄŒEZ has said.

Czech nuclear power operator ÄŒEZ and municipal heating company Teplárny Brno have signed agreements relating to a 42-kilometre pipeline from the Dukovany nuclear power plant that aims to benefit 250,000 people in the city of Brno.

In a contract signed during a visit to the Czech Republic by French President Emmanuel Macron, Orano will supply uranium enrichment services, which will be used at ÄŒEZ's Dukovany nuclear power plant.

Czech nuclear power plant operator ÄŒEZ says that its fuel diversification strategy will see the first Westinghouse VVER fuel delivered to its Dukovany nuclear power plant at the end of the year.

The Czech government has decided to change its tender for new nuclear to binding offers for up to four, rather than one, reactors - and said that it is inviting bids from France's EDF and South Korea's KHNP. The third bidder, Westinghouse, is currently not being included because it "did not meet the necessary conditions".

Czech nuclear power plant operator ČEZ says that introducing new data-based techniques - encompassing things like air temperature, humidity and the temperature of cooling water - to find the optimal setting of the largest circulation pumps, cut the Temelín nuclear power plant's electricity consumption by 5400 MWh in 2023.

One of the first peregrine falcons hatched at the Dukovany nuclear power plant, in 2020, is in a rescue centre after being discovered with shotgun injuries.

French energy company EDF signed cooperation agreements relating to the potential deployment of its technology, and the involvement of local supply chains, in Canada, the Czech Republic and India on the first day of World Nuclear Exhibition 2023 in Paris.
