In this work, VVER fuel assembly is calculated using two different codes - Serpent and SCALE. Multiplication factor and several two-group macroscopic parameters including scattering cross-section, ...fission cross-section, total cross-section and diffusion coefficient were studied. In addition to this, fuel isotopic composition dependency on burnup was calculated as a part of this study. Obtained data are compared and differences are discussed. Both codes provides similar results for all studied parameters.
The issue of the Temelín nuclear power plant completion, which will have significant implications for the future of the Czech economy and energy sector, is currently one of the most debated ...political, security and economic questions in the Czech Republic. The main goal of this article is to define basic themes in Czech political discourse on completion of the Temelín nuclear power plant. The second aim of the article is to analyze development of Czech public discourse on the construction of the third and fourth block at the Temelín nuclear power plant. Methodologically, the article is based on thematic and content analysis. The period spanning from August 2009 to July 2012 is investigated.

Rakouské protesty proti jaderné elektrárně Temelín formou blokády hraničních přechodů.
Extended description:
Více než 1000 odpůrců jaderné elektrárny Temelín zablokovalo ...hraniční přechod Wullowitz - Dolní Dvořiště. Stejná akce současně probíhala i na dalších šesti jihočeských přechodech. Aktivisté mají obavy ze spuštění jaderné elektrárny a žádají o přezkoušení bezpečnosti jejího provozu. Podle průzkumu veřejného mínění 68% Rakušanů souhlasí s tím, aby kvůli Temelínu byl Česku zablokován přístup do EU. Někteří se však domnívají, že jejich politikové používají protesty pouze ke svému zviditelnění.
More than 1,000 opponents of nuclear power plant blocked the border crossing Wullowitz - Dolní Dvořiště. The same events took place simultaneously at other six South Bohemian crossing points. Activists are afraid of nuclear power plants and ask a safety check of its operation. According to the poll, 68% of Austrians agree that the Czech Republic should not be admitted to EU due to Temelin. However, some of them believe that politicians use their protests only to visualize themselves.

Original language summary:
Zahájení procesu aktivace reaktoru trvalo pět hodin. V průběhu dnešního dne probíhá postupné ředění kyseliny borité v primárním okruhu. Aby mohla nastat první řízená štěpná ...reakce, musí koncentrace kyseliny klesnout na polovinu. Postup všech prací probíhá bez problémů a první štěpná reakce nastane pravděpodobně zítra.

Information:
Initiation of the activation process of the reactor lasted five hours. Today a progressive dilution of boric acid in the primary circuit proceeds. In order to experience first controlled fission reaction, the acid concentration has to fall to half. All the works proceed without problems and the first fission reaction will probably occur tomorrow.

V Praze před Státním úřadem pro jadernou bezpečnost proběhla demonstrace aktivistů Greenpeace. Ti požadovali, aby byla prošetřena všechna bezpečnostní rizika u jaderné ...elektrárny Temelín. Akce skončila razantním zásahem policie. Úřad je - podle svého mluvčího - ochoten k jednání, ale odmítá jakékoliv nátlakové akce.

Události ("Events") - the main Czech TV news programme has been broadcast since 1993.
A two-day blockade of the nuclear power plant ended today. The organizers of the Rainbow movement found the event successful. Even the Czech police had to interpose against 150 activists from 10 countries. The police rejects the view of Rainbow movement that its intervention was brutal. Jakub Patocka, a member of the Rainbow movement, is recalling other similar events in the world and pointing out that they are not here for the last time.
the paper concerns the creation of the analysis of the unplanned shutdowns and estimation of reliability. This analysis is based on the document of all unplanned shutdowns for both units in the Czech ...nuclear power plant Temelin. This investigation is mainly focused on failures of some components, which have significant impact of the decrease of electrical power during operation of the power plant. Thanks to this analysis, we are able to perform the estimation of reliability of the power plant. The estimation is created in Dymola software and gives us certain information of the failures of key components, which must be solved in the future. The determination of the key components is very important step for the modeling of reliability of this power plant.

BRIEF SHOT of JORG HAIDER battling his way through journalists and photographers.
VO SEAN WHELAN "Temelin has become an enormous political issue in Austria far bigger than Sellafield in Irish politics. The far right Freedom Party formerly led by Jorg Haider is strongly opposed to Temelin and has even called for Vienna to veto Czech membership of the EU if the plant is not closed."
IV JOACHIM STEINKILNER MP Freedom Party, Austria on the Freedom Party's policy regarding Temelin.VARIOUS SHOTS of Temelin nuclear plant."The European Commission brokered a deal on safety controls at Temelin which allowed the Czechs to open phase one of the plant last June. But the Freedom Party now say that the Czechs have now broken the agreement. There is a general election in Austria next month and the Freedom Party says they will make Temelin an issue. With all the other parties officially anti nuclear the pressure will be on to exert maximum leverage against the Czechs when they feel vunerable over enlargement."
IC SEAN WHELAN "Whether this plant becomes an issue in the enlargement deal will depend largely on how well Jorg Haider's old party does in next month's election."

Original language summary:

Ungeplante Situationen sind für außen- und sicherheitspolitische Entscheidungsträger häufig der Normalfall und doch zugleich eine große Herausforderung. Sich mögliche Zukünfte auszumalen und dabei ...konsequent mitzudenken, was sein wird, wenn die Dinge schief- oder zumindest nicht linear laufen, dafür bleibt im politischen Alltag nur wenig Zeit, und auch für die Bürokratie ist das noch keine Routineübung.
Die Autorinnen und Autoren antizipieren acht Situationen, die die deutsche und europäische Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik kurzfristig überraschen und beschäftigen könnten. Dabei identifizieren sie kritische Zeitpunkte und Problemlagen, an denen deutsche und europäische Akteure ansetzen können, um ungewünschten Entwicklungen entgegenzuarbeiten. (Autorenreferat)
Unplanned situations are often the norm for foreign and security policy makers, but at the same time a big challenge. It is not yet a routine exercise for the bureaucracy, but it is not yet a routine exercise.
The authors anticipate eight situations that could surprise and occupy the German and European foreign and security policy in the short term. In doing so, they identify critical moments and problems that German and European actors can address in order to counter undesired developments. (author’s abstract)
