Operation of the new unit, Slovakia’s fifth, could bring the share of nuclear in the country’s electricity generation to 65%, putting it second behind only France, with 69%.
Mr Strycek was speaking in response to a decision by the UJD in which it rejected appeals against the unit’s operation and confirmed an earlier decision allowing it to go ahead.
In a statement on its website UJD said it had received appeals related to the plant’s commissioning, but gave no further details.
“The UJD consistently checked and evaluated all areas, demonstrating the technical and qualitative readiness of the third unit for fuel loading,” said Marta Ziakova, head of the ÚJD. “The readiness of the reactor block for the loading of the first fuel assembly and the start of active tests had to be demonstrated comprehensively in all assessed areas.”
