CEZ Requests EIA of Proposed Temelin Nuclear Power Plant Completion

Posted on: Friday, 11 July 2008, 12:00 CDT

CEZ has requested the Czech ministry of environment to carry out the environmental impact assessment of the proposed completion of the Temelin nuclear power plant.

The purpose of the environmental impact assessment (EIA) process is to identify, describe and evaluate in a complex way anticipated environmental effects and effects on public health of prepared projects and concepts in all critical contexts. The EIA process precedes approvals of the projects and commencement of their realization.

The EIA process is controlled by the Czech ministry of the environment. CEZ said that it is prepared to give the ministry all information which will be needed for the environmental impact assessment of the potential completion of Temelin. In the case of large projects, the EIA process reportedly takes several years to be carried out.

Martin Roman, CEO of CEZ, said: "We consider nuclear energy to be the best possible solution in terms of economy and ecology as well. As a result we are considering a possibility to complete another two of the originally designed units in Temelin and the EIA is one of the steps in the process of data collection."
