Engineering manager of the Mochovce project Slavomir Vinkovic says that the completion of the third and fourth nuclear unit in Mochovce have encountered ordinary problems that may occur anywhere in the world.
The Nuclear Regulatory Authority of the Slovak Republic is reassuring that new nuclear units will not be launched unless all requirements for nuclear safety are met.
According to the chairman of the Regulatory Office for Network Industries Lubomir Jahnatek, a dramatic increase in wholesale electricity and gas prices on global markets can be ascribed to this increase in energy prices for Slovak households.
General Director of Slovenske Elektrarne Branislav Strycek says that the company has all necessary funds to complete two nuclear units in Mochovce, including the completion of the fourth nuclear unit.
The Slovak Regulatory Authority of the Slovak Republic assures that it will not grant a permission to load nuclear fuel if any suspicions on the readiness of the third and fourth nuclear unit in Mochovce arise.
Opposition parties are convinced that one of the reasons for the delayed completion of the Mochovce NPP and increasing budget are the dealings of the companies with ties to the governments led by Smer-SD.
Nuclear fuel loading at the third nuclear unit in Mochovce is scheduled for the first quarter 2019 and the commercial operation for the second quarter 2019.
