Temelin director asks for objective reporting

Meanwhile, the general director of the Temelin nuclear power plant Frantisek
Hezoucky has appealed to Austrian officials for greater objectivity in
reporting on the Czech nuclear power station. Hezoucky sent an open letter
to Wolfgang Kromp , the head of the Risk Assessment Institute in Vienna who
recently inspected Temelin with a group of nuclear experts, asking him to
give the Austrian public an objective report of his findings. The head of
the Temelin power plant has told the CTK news agency that at the end of the
inspection tour Mr. Kromp had admitted that many of his earlier concerns had
been totally unjustified.

Temelin reactor to go into a higher activation phase soon

At Temelin, the activation of the power plant is reported to be progressing
as planned. The Czech Nuclear Energy Agency is to make a decision in the
next few days on whether Temelin's first reactor can be put into a higher
activation phase.
