Why drought is unlikely to shut down Czech nuclear power plants

from Radio Prague International - latest articles

Hungary has shut down its Paks nuclear power plant after prolonged drought and extreme heat caused the level of the Danube to fall further. The situation has raised questions about whether climate change could create similar problems for Czech nuclear facilities. Petr Šuler of the ČEZ nuclear energy division says Temelín and Dukovany use a fundamentally different cooling system and are therefore much less dependent on river flow and water temperature.
