Westinghouse has completed the first VVER fuel reload deliveries to the Temelín and Dukovany nuclear power stations in the Czech Republic, marking what the US company called “a key milestone” in Prague’s strategy to increase energy security by diversifying supplies.
The VVER-1000 fuel reload for Temelín is part of the long-term contract signed between Westinghouse and Czech state power company ČEZ in June 2022 and includes the Robust Westinghouse Fuel Assembly design (RWFA-T).
Westinghouse also delivered the first VVER-440 fuel reload of its NOVA E-6 design to Dukovany, under a fuel supply agreement signed between Westinghouse and ČEZ in March 2023.
