Czech prime minister Petr Fiala told the European Nuclear Energy Forum (Enef) in Prague: “I am convinced that investment in more nuclear energy is one of the most natural responses to the current situation.
“It is in our interest to develop nuclear power as soon as possible.”
He said the Czech Republic is “ready to become a leader” in nuclear energy for the region, because of its existing reactors, industrial capabilities, workforce expertise, and plans to build both conventional and modular nuclear power.
Because of its geography, the Czech Republic is not well suited for the expansion of wind and solar, Fiala said, adding that an energy mix combining renewables and nuclear is “the only scenario” for the country’s energy transition.

The head of the Czech State Office for Nuclear Safety, Dana Drábová, warned on 23 February about European Union (EU) pressure to close the Dukovany nuclear plant. "There is immense pressure developing that the operating life of nuclear reactors should be limited to 40 years. That means our political representatives – whoever they might be – sometime around 2023 will face a battle over a further ten-year extension for Dukovany."
