New Czech-Austrian commission should visit Temelin to investigate safety, say leaders

Members of a new Czech-Austrian joint commission should visit the Czech Temelin power station to determine whether it is safe, the Czech prime minister, Mirek Topolanek, said after a meeting with his Austrian counterpart, Alfred Gusenbauer, in Prague. Mr Gusenbauer said greater transparency over Temelin could lead to a reduction in animosity on both sides. Critics in Austria say the nuclear station in south Bohemia is unsafe.
