Regulator Gives 10-Year Licence Renewal For Temelín-1 :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: Majority state-owned Czech utility ČEZ has received a licence from the State Office for Nuclear Safety (SÚJB) for the operation of Unit 1 at the Temelín nuclear power station for another 10 years.
Permits to operate commercial nuclear plants in the Czech Republic are issued for 10 years and are subject to reviews during which the operator must demonstrate it can continue safe operation of the facility for the next 10-year period.
Temelín-1 began commercial operation in June 2002 and is one of the newest nuclear power plants in Europe. An identical unit, Temelín-2, began commercial operation in April 2003. ČEZ has said it is planning to operate both units for 60 years.
