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

Modernized fuel assemblies will be used for the refueling of the ¼ of the fuel. This year, another two months‘ refueling is planned at Unit 1 at the end of this summer. One fourth of the reactor fuel will be once more replaced in its course, so that the Unit 1 reactor will be in operation with a half of enhanced fuel assemblies in the autumn. During the outage, the planned modernization flow-through part of the high-pressure turbine rotor will be performed that will make it possible to increase the Unit 1 output by ca. 20 MWe.
