What does that mean? It means meeting the electricity consumption in the CzechRepublic for more than 4.5 years. Not only is it electricity in the amount of ca 250 billion CZK in cost prices, but it is also 250 million tons of saved coal, which would have to be transported on a train which would go along the equator almost two times around the earth.Only ca 100m3 (a rectangular parallelepiped with 5 x 5 m basement and with the height of 5 m) of spent fuel, which can be recycled, and the same amount of high-level active fuel packaging material, which must be stored, were created by the generation of this energy.If this energy had been produced by fossil fuel combustion, there would have remained 200 million tons of carbon dioxide, greenhouse gas which causes the earth climate warming, in addition.If the same amount of energy had been generated by wind power plants, every Czech household would have paid in total another 200 thousand CZK for this energy. The mountains in the CzechRepublic would have been covered by 17 thousand of 100-150 metre high wind power plant towers.Petr Spilka, Press Officer, CEZ, a. s.
