| Description: |
The Nuclear Power Plant consists of a complex of buildings and technological equipment which serves for the conversion of thermal energy into electric power, similarly as in classical power plants. At the Temelín Nuclear Power Plant the heat source is a nuclear fission reaction in the active zone of two VVER 1000 reactors. The generated heat is conducted from the reactor to steam generators by a coolant in four loops. In the steam generator steam is generated in the inter-tube space of an evaporator. The steam is conducted to the turbo-set by steam conductors. The electric power output of the unit is conducted from turbo-alternators to unit transformers via the Temelín switching station and from there to the public network. The technological design of the Nuclear Power Plant project includes, beside the two main production blocks, a complex of several hundred buildings and structures related to the operation of the plant. These units can be divided into the following groups:
