Скачать или смотреть Temelin Nuclear Power Plant (Ceske Budejuvice)

The investment design of the construction was issued in February 1979, the initial power plant design was developed by Energoprojekt Prague in 1985, and construction of operating units was launched in 1987. After the Velvet revolution in November 1989, which ended the Communist regime, it was decided to reduce the number of production units from four to only two. Despite new economic circumstances and a period of great uncertainty, the reduced but technologically updated construction was completed, and in July 2000 the reactor was loaded. On 21 December 2000, the 1st production unit supplied first electricity.

In Spring 2003, when the second unit started trial operation, the Temelin Nuclear Power Plant became the largest power resource in the Czech Republic. Now the power plant safely produces more than 15 TWh of clean electricity per year.
