Deals for US and French fuel for Temelín signed

Czech power company ČEZ on Monday signed contracts for the supply of fuel assemblies for the Temelín nuclear power station with US firm Westinghouse and Framatome of France. The companies won a selection procedure for the deals in April.

Supplies of fuel assemblies will begin in 2024 and will continue for over a decade, at a cost of several billion crowns.

At present fuel from Russia’s Rosatom is used to power Temelín.
