Slovak Nuclear Power Plants Must Ramp Up Power Supply

Stress tests at Slovakia’s two nuclear power stations revealed that the facilities need to improve the safety of auxiliary electricity supply, the country’s nuclear security chief said.

Plants in Jaslovske Bohunice and Mochovce, controlled by Enel SpA, were forced to review and improve the diesel generators that ensure the supply of power to the power stations, especially the circuits operating the nuclear reactors, Marta Ziakova, the chairwoman of the Slovak Nuclear Safety Office, said in an interview in Valec, Czech Republic yesterday.
