Bohunice Nuclear Power Plant

EBO) is a complex of nuclear reactors situated 2.5 km from the village of Jaslovské Bohunice in the Trnava District of western Slovakia.

A decision was subsequently made to shut down the reactor, due to the high cost of repairs following the accident as well as inefficiency of operation.

Czechoslovakia decided to build additional conventional Soviet reactors of the VVER type instead, which have a higher power output with a more efficient operational process.

In May 2009, Slovak prime minister Robert Fico and Czech PM Jan Fischer announced construction of a new reactor unit at Bohunice.

A partnership of JAVYS and the Czech energy company ČEZ will build the plant at a projected cost of around 3.7 billion euros.

At the time, ČEZ considered combining this project with their concurrent construction of the third and fourth reactors at Temelín Nuclear Power Station, which was ultimately canceled in April 2013.
