According to a study by the Czech side released yesterday, the total direct costs in the event of shutdown and preservation of the Temelin nuclear-power plant (the so-called zero scenario) would reach CZK 117.4 bil., with the further indirect costs unquantifiable. CEZ itself would incur a loss of CZK 108.3 bil. in this scenario.
Separately, Temelin CEO F. Hezoucky told the Czech HN Daily that a delay in the commercial launch of the plant costs CEZ up to CZK 7 mil. a day (in the form of unrealized profit).
