Unit 2 is in operation at planned power level. At Unit 1, the technicians are carrying out a series of reactor core physics tests. After their termination, they will synchronize the Unit with the distribution grid. An integral part of the preparatory activities is the re-balancing of the turbine generator rotor, too. Recently, the complete turbine generator set is cooling down to start modifications on the auxiliary stepping device of the turbine that serves to step by step revolving of the rotor during its balancing. All auxiliary systems are working in accordance with the operation needs of individual units.

Information on parameters at Unit 1 today on August 10, 2006 at 09:30 o‘clock:
· Unit is in Mode 2
· Reactor power is 1,0 %
· Turbine generator output - 0 MWe
· Electricity production since the beginning of the year: 3 450 131 MWh

Information on parameters at Unit 2 today on August 10, 2006 at 09:30 o‘clock:
· Unit is in Mode 1 - power effect operation ( usage of the maximum power achievable due to fuel burnup at the end of the campaign)
· Reactor power is 93 %
· Turbine generator output - 939 MWe
· Electricity production since the beginning of the year: 4 276 906 MWh
