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 power utility CEZ has introduced new data-processing techniques to increase efficient operation at its Temelin NPP. By taking into account - factors such as air temperature, humidity and the temperature of cooling water, the optimal setting of the largest circulation pumps can be calculated. Power engineers compare these variables to find the optimal setting, which is then updated twice a day in line with the weather forecast. This cut the plant's electricity consumption by 5400 MWh in 2023 compared with 2022. The plant consumed 803,000 MWh of electricity, which represents about 5% of the electricity produced.

It is neither sensible nor safe to replace the Russian nuclear fuel used in the VVER-440 reactors at Hungary’s Paks NPP with fuel from another supplier, Hungarian nuclear engineer Zsolt Hárfás said in an interview with Magyar Nemzet. “An often asked question is whether fresh Russian nuclear fuel used in the VVER-440 reactors at the Paks NPP can be quickly replaced by fuel from alternative producers. The short answere is ‘no’ because currently none of the Western manufacturers has an officially approved fuel assembly suitable for VVER-440 units,” he said.
