The ČEZ Group will collaborate on the development of new-generation fuel assemblies for Dukovany-type reactors with the French company Framatome and other European operators. The project is aimed at increasing operational safety, fuel-cycle efficiency, and above all at reducing dependence on Russian nuclear fuel. ct24.ceskatelevize.cz ↗
The Dukovany nuclear power plant currently operates reactors equipped with fuel originating from Russian sources. The new cooperation is intended to enable the development of an alternative fuel that would be compatible with the existing VVER-type reactors, while at the same time reducing the Czech Republic's geopolitical vulnerability in the energy sector. e15.cz ↗
Framatome, one of the leading European companies in the nuclear industry, brings its experience and technical capacities to the project. Cooperation with other European operators presupposes that the project will have broader support and that the fuel developed could also be used in reactors of other countries with similar technologies. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
This development is part of the Czech Republic's strategic effort to increase its energy self-sufficiency and diversify the sources of supply of critical materials for the nuclear industry. The project represents an important step in ČEZ's long-term plan to modernize and secure the operation of the Dukovany reactors without dependence on Russian supplies. blesk.cz ↗
