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. All auxiliary systems are working in accordance with the operation needs of individual units.

Information on parameters at Unit 1 today on August 14 2006 at 08:00 o‘clock:
· Unit is in Mode 1
· Reactor power is 29 %
· 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 14, 2006 at 08:00 o‘clock:
· Unit is in Mode 1 - power effect operation *
· Reactor power is 90 %
· Turbine generator output - 900 MWe
· Electricity production since the beginning of the year: 4 365 760 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.
