The proposed Project further comprises construction areas and equipment, i.e. main construction site and the construction site installations comprising all elements as necessary for the Project contractors during civil engineering or constructional works (outside the public infrastructure). Project classification pursuant to Annex 1 to the Act Point 8 (Nuclear power plants and other nuclear reactors including dismantling or decommissioning of such power plants or reactors with the exception of research installations for production and transformation of fission and fertile substances, where maximum power output does not exceeds 1 kW of continual thermal output of category I). The project qualifies as pursuant to § 4 Section 1a) of the Act. Place of the Project implementation: region: Vysočina municipality: Dukovany, Slavětice, Rouchovany c. a.: Skryje nad Jihlavou, Lipňany u Skryjí, Dukovany, Slavětice and Heřmanice u Rouchovan Company Name of the Notifier: Elektrárna Dukovany II, a. s. Company ID of the Notifier: 04669207 Registered Office of the Notifier: Duhová 1444/2, 140 53 Prague 4 The Ministry of the Environment as a competent authority pursuant to § 21 c) and f) of the Act and pursuant to § 9a Section 1 and Annex 6 to the Act is issuing P O S I T I V E B I N D I N G S T A T E M E N T on the Project of “New Nuclear Source at the Dukovany Site” The Ministry of the Environment pursuant to § 9a Section 1 of the Act is laying down following conditions for subsequent proceeding: Conditions for the stage of Project preparation: 1. Within the site permit documentation for the waste water drain pipe from the New Nuclear Source („NNS“) to the Mohelno Water Reservoir („WR“), locate the piping, which is to be routed above the confluence of the Skryjský Creek and the Luhy stream in the forest section, only alongside the existing road of a tourist route marked in green; in other sections, give preference to side-run with infrastructure (such as roads). 2. Within the site permit documentation for the drain pipe of waste water containing radioactive substances from the NNS to the Mohelno WR, locate the piping, which is to be routed above the left bank of the Skryjský Creek, downstream the confluence of the brook and the Luhy stream, in order to rigidly respect the boundary of Site of Community Importance (SCI) CZ0614134 – Jihlava Valley, extending above the right stream bank downstream the confluence – specifically it is the section between the Skryjský Creek and the confluence of the brook and the Luhy stream having a distance of approximately 0.3 km in length of the Skryjský Creek. 3. Within the site permit documentation, provide the NNS rain water drainage system to dispose rain water to the Olešná catchment with tanks to trap any potential leaks of oil substances and sediments as to not affect the subject of protection in SCI CZ0623819 – Rokytná River. 4. Within the building permit documentation, provide further details on the constructional solutions, including implementation schedules, of emergency shelters, Emergency Control Centre, Technical Support Centre, External Emergency Support Centre, Stand-by Emergency Control Centre, and Stand-by Technical Support Centre shall be documented in further detail. 5. Within the building permit documentation, demonstrate that the technical and technological solutions of the NNS provide for limitation of liquid effluents (waste water) containing radioactive substances from the NNS, namely tritium (H-3), in case of low flow rate in the Jihlava river. 6. Within the building permit documentation, update water balance calculations (relative to secured consumption) based both on new data to be provided by selected contractor for the NNS and on the extended flow rate series for the Jihlava river in the Jihlava – Ptáčov profile, at that time updated values of minimum residual flow rate in the Jihlava – Mohelno profile and other real data on weather changes (temperatures, rainfall). 7. Within the building permit documentation, solve the NNS site illumination in the manner avoiding distinctive luminous pollution in the surroundings, e.g. employ directional light sources. 8. Within the building permit documentation: a) exclude permanent and temporary occupation of land determined to be forest land (LDBFL) for the purpose of construction site installation, temporary soil deposition or temporary deposition of the NNS construction material except for inevitable cases, b) exclude permanent and minimize temporary occupation of LDBFL for the purpose of construction site installation, temporary soil deposition or temporary deposition of the NNS construction material in corridors of connected line buildings of the NNS in sections routed in forest except for inevitable cases, c) specify a consistent forest restoration plan for forest stands affected by construction. 9. Within the building permit documentation, prefer urbanistic and Architectural solutions considering the existing landscape and setting and adapt the architectural solution of the Project (including colour) to the existing landscape, including architectural relations to the existing premisses of EDU1–4. 10. In further project preparation (before filing a building permit application), examine the possibility of shielding optically the municipality of Rouchovany from the NNS site using new landscape elements of greenery, e.g. taking advantage of the ridge northward of the Rouchovany village between the village and the Olešná river valley, further partly the ridge southward of the proposed site installation area B along the road from the little chapel around the Hlinsko elevation point and the Pod alejí agricultural line. If the result of such examination is positive, implement such shields. 11. In further stages of the project documentation, but at the latest within the process of working out the building permit documentation after having specified positions of NNS building objects in area A, spatial structures of site installations in area B, and positions of proposed infrastructure elements in areas C and D, work out a complex dendrological survey, including identification of woody plants that will be preserved or cut down. 12. In further project preparation stages (having specified final transport routes from sources of main commodities to the NNS Site and introduced transport intensities during the stage of construction), arrange with owners of affected roads a method or rule for possible compensation for using affected road system, considering the character of transport introduced because of the Project, the road system condition, service duties of owners of the road infrastructure, and tax liabilities of transporters of the commodities; implement an agreed method or rule for compensation without delay. 13. In further project preparation stages, give evidence of: a) none or insignificant radiological impact being required according to WENRA recommendations for design basis accidents as well as design extension conditions without core melting, i.e. no exigent measures will be necessary to implement for protection of population in the NNS surroundings and none or only small (space- and time-limited) restrictions on food and agricultural product will be required b) for severe accidents (design extension conditions with core melting), space- and time- limited radiological impacts will be required according to WENRA recommendations, which will ensure compliance with the following requirements: i. avoiding the need for evacuation at a distance exceeding approximately 3 km, ii. avoiding the need for sheltering and iodine prophylaxis at a distance exceeding approximately 5 km, iii. agricultural production at a distance of more than approximately 5 km will be suitable for consumption one year after a radiation accident, iv. no permanent relocation anywhere outside the premises of the power plant (for the purpose of practical application interpreted as no permanent relocation at a distance exceeding 800 m from the reactor). 14. The NNS design shall provide protection of the NNS against consequences of a radiological emergency occurrence at any other on-site nuclear installations. 15. In further stages of the NNS project preparation, work out a project for monitoring radiation situation. 16. The NNS design will include provisions for reduction of individual effective dose received by a representative person especially as a consequence of discharge of liquid effluents containing radioactive substances from the NNS. 17. In subsequent stages of the project preparation, monitor climatic conditions and in case of provable changes reflect such changes in the project preparation, particularly in terms of provisions for meeting the NNS water
