Security Council proposes to increase nuclear energy

The Czech Republic should secure its energy supply by making full use of its nuclear power plants and technology in other European countries, the National Security Council proposes in a report. The document was made public by Czech Radio Radiozurnal on Sunday. According to the council, the country's limited renewable energy sources would be used more efficiently if the Temelin and Dukovany nuclear power plants were developed further and if plans to stop uranium mining were reconsidered. Environment Minister Martin Bursik has criticised the report.
