PRAGUE, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Temelin, the Czech Republic's biggest power station, will restart its 1,000 megawatt Unit 1 on Friday, after an...

...outage lasting almost two months, the nuclear 
plant's owner CEZ  said on Friday. 
    The company said it would perform a series of tests after 
the reactor's minimum output is reached on Friday. The output 
will then be gradually boosted so the Unit 1 is ready to 
re-connect to the power grid next week. 
    CEZ operates two 1,000-megawatt reactors at Temelin, which 
is near the Austrian border in the south of the country. 
    The Unit 1 shut down at the beginning of August for planned 
maintenance, which included the exchange of a quarter of the 
reactor's fuel. The Unit 2 was running at 100 percent of 
capacity on Friday morning. 
    Temelin is the biggest asset of state-owned CEZ, Europe's 
second-largest power exporter after France's EDF . It 
accounts for 16 percent of CEZ's installed domestic capacity.
