US Lawyer Fagan to Visit Temelin Nuclear Plant, CTK Reports

  

Prague, March 15 (Bloomberg) -- Ed Fagan, a U.S. lawyer advising 

Austrian opponents in their effort to stop the commercial startup of 

the Temelin nuclear power plant, will visit the Czech facility next 

week, CTK news agency said, citing anti-Temelin activists. 



Fagan should arrive in the Czech Republic on Monday and visit the 

nuclear plant Tuesday, CTK reported. Ladislav Kriz, a spokesman for 

CEZ AS, the main Czech utility that runs the Temelin plant, said he's 

not aware of Fagan's visit, adding the lawyer has never contacted 

CEZ. 



Fagan, who has represented thousands of victims in Nazi slave labor 

lawsuits, called last month on CEZ and U.S.-based Westinghouse 

Electric Co., which upgraded the plant to meet more stringent safety 

standards, to submit documentation of all the plant's equipment by 

March 20. CEZ, which says the plant is safe, refused to publish the 

documents saying some of them are confidential, while most of the 

documents Fagan is asking for are available to the public, CTK said. 



Temelin, located in about 70 kilometers north of the Austrian border, 

was started under communism. The first block of the power plant was 

completed and put into trial operations in October, sparking protests 

from Austria that culminated in border-crossing blockades. Temelin is 

scheduled to begin commercial operations in June.
