NEW NUCLEAR POWER PLANT AT THE JASLOVSKÉ BOHUNICE SITE PRELIMINARY STUDY FOR THE PROPOSED ACTIVITY February 2014 JADROVÁ ENERGETICKÁ SPOLOČNOSŤ SLOVENSKA, a.s. NEW NUCLEAR POWER PLANT AT THE JASLOVSKÉ BOHUNICE SITE Page: 2/165 PRELIMINARY STUDY FOR THE PROPOSED ACTIVITY Issue/Revision: V01R00 NJZJB_EIA_CP01_DOK_AMEC_JESS_0015_0FINAL Issue: 02/2014 Document Annotation The submitted document involves a Preliminary Study for the proposed activity pursuant to Section 22 and Annex No. 9 of the Act No. 24/2006 Coll. on the Environmental Impact Assessment as amended. Subject to the proposed activity is the New Nuclear Power Plant at the Jaslovské Bohunice site, including the construction of a new nuclear power plant and all related building structures and technological facilities. The new nuclear power plant (new NPP) is in line with the key strategic documents of the Slovak Republic in the energy sector. The proposed activity is situated in the western region of the Slovak Republic in Trnava Self-Governing Region; the area for siting the new NPP neighbours is in the vicinity of the existing Jaslovské Bohunice nuclear facilities site (Jaslovské Bohunice Nuclear Power Plant), whereas it also uses a part of the shut-down NPP Bohunice A1 and NPP Bohunice 1,2. From the technical perspective, it is III+ generation power plant with pressurized water reactor (PWR). The maximum total installed capacity is considered to be 2,400 MW either with single or double reactor blocks. The operational lifetime of the power plant will be 60 years. The project will be solved in a way that ensures the performance of all relevant legislative regulations and safety standards in line with the regulations and requirements as set out by the Nuclear Regulatory Authority of the Slovak Republic, IAEA and WENRA. The activity will be considered in one alternative for the location and the technical solution. This Preliminary Study offers, in line with the requirements of the above stated Act, the basic characteristic of the proposed activity; basic data on the current state of the environment in the area where the activity is to be performed, as well as in an area, which will be influenced by the proposed activity; basic data on the expected impacts of the proposed activity as well as on the possible extent of impact on the components of the environment; basic evaluation of alternative solutions for the proposed activity and proposals of measures to be taken in order to exclude or decrease the adverse impacts of the proposed activity at the implementation, operation and operation termination stage. The Preliminary Study takes the nature of the proposed activity (which is the nuclear facility) into account as well as the site specifics (where a group of other nuclear facilities are located). From this perspective, a special attention paid to the issue of impacts on the public and public health (mainly in the area of the ionizing radiation impacts) in the Preliminary Study, including the respective cumulative impacts of the proposed activity together with other existing or planned site activities. With reference to the selection of the considered technology for the new NPP, the existing impact of the current nuclear facilities at the site and negligible contribution of nuclear energy to the public exposure, no negative radiation impacts on the health of the public are expected under the concurrent impact of other nuclear facilities on site. With respect to the location of the proposed activity outside the residential territories, no significant negative impacts are expected, either from the perspective of the non-radiation factors (this covering mainly the air and noise pollution). From the perspective of the impacts on soil, the soil occupation will be the most significant one, which is determined by the delimitation of the area for building the new NPP. Based on the performed assessments and the existing experience of the operated nuclear power units in the area concerned, there are no expected significantly negative impacts on other components and parts of the environment (surface and ground waters, fauna, flora, ecological systems and protected land areas, rock environment and natural resources, cultural monuments and tangible property). At all stages of the new NPP life cycle, regular monitoring of the individual components of the environment will continue to take place. The potentially most likely areas and the groups of population to be considered are situated close to the proposed site; therefore, the emergence of significant cross-border impacts is practically excluded or is very unlikely. A detailed impact assessment of the new NPP on the individual components of the environment and the health of the incomplete population will be carried out based on detailed analyses at the next review stage, hence in the Environmental Impact Assessment Report processed pursuant to Section 31 of the above stated Act and pursuant to the determined scope of assessment as set out by the Ministry of Environment of the Slovak Republic.
