The Temelin and Dukovany nuclear power plants in the Czech Republic meet the requirements of international environmental protection standards. Such is the main conclusion of a recertification audit conducted by the international company Det Norske Veritas. This prestigious ecological certificate for environmental management has been held by the Temelin power plant without interruption since 2004, and by the Dukovany plant since 2001.

Twenty years after taking the 1st unit of the nuclear power plant from 144 hour confirmative operation with a 100 % output to trial operation, this is the first time the operation of the 3rd unit has enhanced its effectiveness and output.

Although the design solution of the power plant comes from the seventies, it has been modernized and reaches very good results that put it into the first quarter of the world's power plants.
