Energy commission envisages nuclear power stations serving for several more decades

A government appointed commission on energy policy envisages the life of the Czech Republic’s two nuclear power plants being extended for several decades, the website ekonom.cz reported. The recommendation is included in the commission’s final report, which has been posted on the internet to allow for opposing arguments to be submitted. The commission, led by renowned scientist Václav Pačes, says if their lives are extended, the Temelín nuclear station could serve until 2062 and the Dukovany plant until 2045.
