Municipalities around Temelín nuclear plant to receive 300 million

In related news, the ČEZ company is going to pay some 300 million crowns, or around 15.7 million US dollars, to several municipalities in the vicinity of the Temelín nuclear power plant in southern Bohemia. The sum will be distributed among five villages and towns and used to improve local public services.

ČEZ is planning to complete another two blocks at the Temelín power plant; if approved by the government, the new blocks will be built on land owned by the municipality of Temelín. The village will receive 100 million crowns, or more than 5 million US dollars, although ČEZ management denied any direct link between the subsidy and the plans to build two new blocks.
