Since it was launched in October 2000, the plant has seen about forty unplanned shut-downs and eight leakages of radioactive fluid. The most recent leakages occurred last Tuesday and the Tuesday before that. Now, Environment Minister Martin Bursik has called for an investigation and says heads should roll at the state's Nuclear Safety Office. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/temelin1_6.jpg?timestamp=1591413990 Environment Minister says Nuclear Safety Office is playing down Temelin accidents https://english.radio.cz/environment-minister-says-nuclear-safety-office-playing-down-temelin-accidents-8610026 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
