ARMENIAN EXPERTS OF WANO SET OFF MONITORING OF CZECH TEMELIN NPP
YEREVAN, February 26. /ARKA/. Experts of World Association of Nuclear
Operators (WANO), including Armenian specialists, set off monitoring
of Temelin nuclear power plant in Czech Republic, Marek Svitak,
a spokesman for Temelin, told CTK agency.
A group of seven experts from Russia, Slovakia, Armenia and Hungary
will monitor the operation of Temelin NPP, radiation and fire safety as
well as the station maintenance over the next two weeks, the spokesman
said, Novosti-Armenia reported referring to Russia's RIA Novosti.
Svitak added the experts will spend more time than it is usually
required at the NPP and upon the monitoring completion will give their
assessments and recommendations for the plant's better maintenance.
Both Czech nuclear power plants-Temelin and Dukovani, had a Soviet
design. Dukovani construction started in 1970 in the framework of the
USSR-Czechoslovakia contract. Four reactors are operating on the plant.
The USSR and Czechoslovakia agreed on building Temelin on 27 November
1981. The station started commercial operation in 2002, over 20 years
later. Two power blocs are currently work there. The power capacity
is 2,000 MW. -0-
