The outage lasted for 59 days and the technicians e.g. replaced a quarter of the fuel, inspected the turbine and safety systems during it. Due to the coronavirus, they had to adjust the timetable before it started, but in the final, they kept the deadlines, despite many health-protective measures. Together with the Dukovany power plant, all six nuclear units are currently in operation.

ČEZ advances to the next stage of preparation for mining lithium at Cínovec

After a thorough assessment of the lithium mining project at Cínovec, ČEZ is advancing to the project’s second stage. The second stage does not involve mining but verifying the production process under pilot plant conditions and pilot test lines. This procedure is standard in any potential ordinary mining activities. Steps to obtain other necessary permits may also be taken. This second testing stage may continue until 2023. ČEZ and Severočeské doly a.s. have therefore agreed to a contractual amendment with EMH and its subsidiary, Geomet, which holds preferential exploration and exploitation rights. The amendment will be subject to approval by the General Meeting of EMH shareholders.
