Czech nuclear utility CEZ has launched a tender for two new generators for the Temelín NPP. They are expected to increase output from 1125 MWe to 1150 MWe and will have a lifespan of some 40 years. CEZ wants to change the generators between 2028 and 2030. The current generators have been in operation since the plant’s two units were launched in 2000 and 2002. The selection procedure is in line with the Public Procurement Act. Companies can apply for the contract worth billions of crowns by 9 June, according to the Public Procurement Gazette, which specified two complete generators including one spare rotor, accessories, installation and subsequent service.

Agreement heralds significant move away from Russian supplies ČEZ chief executive officer Daniel Beneš (left) and Westinghouse chief executive officer and president Patrick Fragman at the signing of the contract. US -based Westinghouse Electric Company has signed a contract with Czech utility ČEZ for the supply of nuclear fuel for VVER-440 pressurised water reactor units (PWR) at the Dukovany nuclear power station.

Westinghouse said in a statement that fuel deliveries are expected to begin in 2024 while the contract is anticipated to be valid for seven years.

The contract will replace supplies by Russian nuclear fuel manufacturer Tvel, a subsidiary of state-owned nuclear group Rosatom.

ČEZ said in a separate statement that Dukovany has stored nuclear fuel to cover about three years of operation. The station is obliged to maintain these reserves even after signing the new fuel contract, the statement said.

Daniel Beneš, chief executive officer of ČEZ, said the signing of the new “western supplier” contract for Dukovany means “a further significant strengthening of energy security” for the company and the Czech Republic.
