Czech Dukovany unscheduled reactor outage ends

Electricity producer ČEZ said Thursday that the unscheduled shutdown of its Dukovany-4 nuclear reactor had ended early in the morning.

The 510 MW capacity reactor should be at full power during the evening of November 23. That would mean all four Dukovany reactor and two Temelín reactors would be operating normally.

The unscheduled outage began November 8 following a leakage of non-radioactive water outside the core reactor area.

The same day as the unscheduled outage started, CEZ had announced it expected output from its two nuclear plants, Dukovany and Temelín, to rise to 8.0 TWh in the last quarter.
