The decision to construct a nuclear power plant at the Temelin site in the Czech Republic was made in 1980, as a result of an expert site selection for four units with VVER-1000 type 320 reactors. The contract for the supply of the technical design from the former USSR was signed in 1982. This design included the reactor, auxiliary buildings and diesel generator stations. The design of the balance of the plant was entirely in the hands of the Czech party, according to the contract.
The basic design of Temelin units 1 and 2 was completed by the Czech architect–designer company Energoprojekt (EGP) of Prague in 1985. The site licence was issued in 1985 and the construction licence in November 1986. Actual erection of the buildings was begun in February 1987. Domestic specialists analysed and subsequently modified the original design before 1989.
After 1989, under the new political and (especially) economic conditions in the country, the need of the Czech Republic for a 4000 MWe power plant was re-evaluated, and at the same time new analyses of the design safety level were performed. In March 1993 the government of the Czech Republic decided that construction of Temelin would be completed with two units.
The
present schedule for commissioning and commercial operation of the two
units at Temelin are shown in Table 1.
A general view of the Temelin site is shown in Figure

Nuclear Safety Legislation Framework
The licence application for the commissioning and operation of a nuclear installation must be accompanied by, among other things, the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), the content of which must include:
- A description of changes to the original design which was assessed in the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report.
- Supplementary and more precise evidence of nuclear safety and radiation protection measures.
- Technical specifications for the safe operation of the nuclear installation.
- Neutron-physics characteristics of the nuclear reactor.
- The methods of radioactive waste management.
- Quality evaluation of classified equipment.
International Expert Appraisals
International missions to the Temelin NPP date from the beginning of the 1990s. These missions were invited to provide an independent evaluation of the original Russian design and some other aspects of the plant construction from the stand-point of internationally adopted standards.
In 1990, on the invitation of the (at that time) Czechoslovak government, the IAEA organised three international expert missions:
- A mission aimed at the evaluation of Temelin site safety (April 1990).
- A pre-operation safety review (Pre-OSART) mission to assess the plant construction practice and preparation for safe operation (April/May 1990).
- A mission focused on the safety systems, core design and safety analyses evaluation (June/July 1990).
These missions stated that the design of Temelin NPP, its siting, and the organisation of its construction did not show any significant deviations from international practice. The final reports of those missions offered some partial recommendations as a contribution to enhancing the plant’s safety level. A follow-up Pre-OSART mission took place in February 1992, to assess to what degree the 1990 recommendations were considered and implemented in the construction and in the preparation for future operation.
In addition to the activities listed above, in 1991 the Czech electricity company CEZ contracted the consulting company Halliburton NUS of the USA to perform an independent audit focused on the plant’s technical concept and to verify whether the plant would be licensable with respect to standards accepted for a plant built in Western Europe or the USA in the mid 1990s.
The audit team concluded that the overall technical concept of Temelin was in many respects consistent with modern reactor designs used in the West. Temelin included, or could be practically modified to include, essentially all features necessary to reflect Western nuclear power plant standards of the mid 1990s. Some of the initial Temelin design concepts and criteria fell short of modern practices, but these shortcomings could be removed by changes in the design. These included the addition of a new instrumentation and control (I&C) system, improved fuel and core design, improvements resulting from VVER and PWR operating experience, and improvements resulting from the audit team recommendations.
In addition, some analyses were performed by Colenco of Switzerland and TÜV Bayern of Germany, which specifically assessed the I&C design.
Among other significant IAEA activities with respect to Temelin, the following should be especially mentioned:
- A quality assurance review (QARAT) mission focused on quality assurance (March/April 1994).
- A consultants’ meeting on Temelin design changes at the IAEA headquarters in Vienna (November/December 1994).
- A mission focused at fire protection of the plant (February 1996).
A special mission of the IAEA in 1996 examined how the Temelin plant has overcome safety issues identified by the IAEA as generic for nuclear power plants with VVER-1000 type 320 reactors. The mission evaluated the revised design, the implementation of previously suggested alterations, and preparations for operation. This included compatibility issues, i.e. the compatibility of modern Western technology with the original Russian design.
In general, this mission concluded that the future plant operator had made a significant effort in improving the plant design, and highly commended this effort. The mission emphasised that the combination of Western and Russian technology in the Temelin design had been considered very carefully indeed. In the mission’s opinion, in some cases the combination of Western and Russian technology resulted in a pronounced improvement of the safety assurance level, compared with international practice.
Another IAEA
mission focused on commissioning Temelin took place in February 2000,
and an OSART (Operational Safety Assessment Review Team) mission is planned
for February 2001. A list of the international missions is shown in
Appendix 1.
Main Design Changes and Safety Improvements
The results of the independent international reviews organised by the IAEA, the proposals of Czech specialists (including the recommendations of the State Office for Nuclear Safety (SUJB)), and the results of the NUS Halliburton audit were used as a basis for technical improvements which, following implementation prior to commissioning, will assure that both units of Temelin NPP will reach the engineering standards usual for Western power plants at the end of the 1990s.
Among a number of improvements related to the replacement of components and systems, the following items have been replaced:
- the I&C system;
- the core and nuclear fuel;
- the radiation monitoring system;
- the diagnostic system, which has also been supplemented;
- cables (replaced with fire-retardant and fire-resistant ones).
In addition,
significant changes were made to the electrical design (electrical
protection, addition of two non-safety grade diesel generators, increased
discharge time of batteries, etc.). All significant design modifications
are summarised in Appendix 2.
A view of the Temelin control room is shown in Figure
2.
Temelin NPP Safety Analyses
Westinghouse has provided the fuel, I&C system, safety analyses and emergency response guidelines for Temelin. The scope of Westinghouse involvement permits the application of the same systematic and integrated approach to nuclear safety (control, monitoring, protection) that is applied to a Westinghouse designed plant.
This approach integrates core design, plant and core monitoring, plant and core control, protection system design, safety analyses, core and plant operating limits, and emergency response guidelines. This integrated approach enhances safety defence-in-depth, which is considered to be composed of the following elements:
- Control systems (maintain plant parameters during normal operation).
- Alarms and manual controls (allows the operators to observe and correct deviations from normal operation).
- Limitation systems and backup controls (the Temelin design provides for extensive "supervisory" control that can automatically take rapid action in the event of a malfunction, thus avoiding the need for protective action that would trip the plant).
- Primary Reactor Protection System (PRPS) — a safety system of Class 1E providing automatic protection to shut down the reactor, and automatic actuation and control of emergency safeguards features (ESF).
- Diverse Protection System (DPS) — a safety system of Class 1E providing backup protection for a postulated failure in the PRPS (provides reactor trip, some ESF actuation and control).
As stated above, a systematic approach to safety analysis is also a systematic approach to protection system design. That is, one must:
- Define unacceptable consequences (offsite dose, fuel failure, etc).
- Determine limits on plant operation which could lead to unacceptable consequences if exceeded.
- Define required protection system functions based upon events and consequences.
- Select acceptance criteria, assumptions and methods.
- Analyse the complete spectrum of plant conditions for the accident scenarios considered.
- Demonstrate by results of analyses that the protection system keeps the plant safe and that the consequences are consistent with accepted criteria.
- Develop limiting conditions for operation and monitoring requirements: protection system setpoints derived from the safety analysis; plant operations maintained within limits assessed in the safety analysis.
Safety Improvement Programme
In accordance with CEZ policy, as stated in its safety strategy, it is planned to perform continual safety assessments on the plant and to incorporate additional improvements beyond the framework of the legal requirements. This is one of the measures aimed at attaining a high safety level.
The Safety Improvement Programme has been defined for the period after the start of trial operation of unit 1. However, fulfilment of some items of the programme has been or will be initiated in advance. The programme is an open document that will be systematically updated on the basis of:
- periodic safety assessments of the NPP units;
- WANO performance indicators;
- the results of operational experience;
- assessments of supervisory bodies (the nuclear and civil safety authorities);
- recommendations of independent assessments (by WANO, IAEA, external audits).
The aim of
the programme is not only to improve safety but also the analytical assessment
of safety and the impact on the environment, as well as improvements in
the organisation and human factors. The programme will be updated every
December (the first update will be done in December 2000) based on preliminary
items/activities discussed by the Temelin Safety Technical Commission
Meeting, or whenever required on the decision of the top management of
the Temelin Construction Division. The first version of the programme
is shown in Appendix 3.
General Conclusions of the March 1996 Mission
- It is recognised that CEZ has made a large effort to improve the design
of Temelin independently of the identification of safety issues by the
IAEA. The organisation of its actions in terms of the IAEA issues was
only a convenient way to demonstrate that all of the issues are being
taken into consideration.
- The scope of national participation in the Temelin design, manufacturing
and construction has had a positive impact on solving several safety
issues identified in VVER-1000 type 320 plants.
- The adoption of Western technology and practices for part of the scope
of supply (e.g. fuel, I&C, radiological protection, accident analysis)
has helped to solve a large number of safety issues identified for VVER-1000
type 320 NPPs.
- Several safety issues which are addressed by ongoing activities have
not been completely solved, but the related activities are properly
managed and, in most cases, there seems to be sufficient time for their
completion.
- The mission recognises the effort of Temelin NPP to ensure that all
the safety issues identified by the IAEA have been addressed. In general
this effort was successful, since no issue has been identified which
has not been addressed to some degree. Most of the issues have been
properly addressed.
- The combination of Eastern and Western technology and practices and
the potential compatibility problems seem to have been carefully considered
at Temelin. In several cases, the combination of Western and Eastern
technology has led to safety improvements in comparison with international
practices.
Conclusion
Temelin
nuclear power plant is an excellent combination of verified technologies.
It is a combination of the very good Russian design safety concept, the
advanced Westinghouse control system, and the precise work of Czech building
and engineering companies. The plant's specifications are equivalent to
those applicable in the most advanced European countries. Temelin will
be a significant addition to the Czech Republic's contribution to avoiding
pollution and climate change. One year of operation will avoid the emission
of 12 million tonnes of CO2 and 23 600 tonnes of SO2.
