Temelin nuclear power plant with respect to further water management use of the Vltava river

Two alternatives are discussed of the discharge of low-level radioactive waters from the nuclear power plant in Temelin into the Vltava river. These waters contain 1x1013 to 5x1013 Bq/year of tritium. It is recommended that these waters be discharged into the water flow from the turbine of the projected Hnevkovice reservoir which would secure good mixing of the waste waters with river water. It is estimated that the collective radiation burden due to use of the Vltava river water will increase owing to radioactive effluents from the Temelin nuclear power plant to 4.2x10-1 Sv/year. (Ha)
