During the outage, ¼ of the reactor fuel will be replaced. The same way as at the Unit 1 outage in this year, new nuclear fuel will be as well used for Unit 2. The most important work in the part of the unit will be the modernization of the flow through part of the HP turbine. After this modification, the power of the turbine generator will be increased at least by 20 MWe. The same modification of the turbine will be made at the Unit 1 outage in Summer. The turbine generator outage increase of 20 MWe is able to cover the annual electricity consumption of four Czech households within one hour.
