Information on NPP Temelín 157/2006
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.
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 11, 2006 at 09:00 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 11, 2006 at 09:00 o‘clock:
· Unit is in Mode 1 - power effect operation *
· Reactor power is 92 %
· Turbine generator output - 927 MWe
· Electricity production since the beginning of the year: 4 299 431 MWh
* Power effect – a use of the reactor core physics properties that make possible the maximum possible exploitation of the energy contained in the fuel. It comes into exploitation exclusively at the end of the fuel campaign; it is due to it that the fuel campaign may be prolonged by up to 20 days. It is accompanied by the stepwise reactor power reduction by about 0,7 % per day. Milan Nebesář
