Czech state-controlled utility ČEZ said its Dukovany-2 nuclear reactor plant will start operating with an increased capacity as the result of an opitmisation programme which began in 2020.
ČEZ said in a statement that the Dukovany-2 VVER/V213 unit will now have an output of 512 MW (gross) compared to the previous capacity of 500 MW.
According to the statement, water temperature at the reactor outlet was increased by about 2°C from 298.4 °C to 300.4 °C, which, under optimal conditions, means a higher electrical output of 12 MW.
