Unit 2 is in operation at planned power level. At Unit 1, the technicians perform the one week lasting prescribed physics tests of the reactor core prior to achieving full power . All auxiliary systems are working in accordance with the operation needs of individual units.

Information on parameters at Unit 1 today on August 16, 2006 at 08:00 o‘clock:
· Unit is in Mode 1
· Reactor power is 80 %
· Turbine generator output - 795 MWe
· Electricity production since the beginning of the year: 3 473 983 MWh

Information on parameters at Unit 2 today on August 16, 2006 at 08:00 o‘clock:
· Unit is in Mode 1 - power effect operation *
· Reactor power is 89 %
· Turbine generator output - 890 MWe
· Electricity production since the beginning of the year: 4 409 058 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.
