The Jaslovské Bohunice Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) (Slovak: Atómové elektrárne Jaslovské Bohunice, abbr. EBO) is a complex of nuclear reactors situated 2.5 km from the village of Jaslovské Bohunice in the Trnava District of western Slovakia. Bohunice NPP consists of three plants: A1 (shut down—one KS 150 reactor unit), V1 (shut down—two VVER units), and V2 (two VVER units). The plant was connected to the national power network in stages between 1972 and 1985. The two power reactors presently in operation, as well as the decommissioned units at V1, are pressurized water reactors of the Soviet VVER-440 design. Annual electricity generation averages about 12,000 GWh. Upon development of a district heating supply network in the town of Trnava near Bohunice NPP, V2 switched to co-generation. Part of this system is a heat feeder line commissioned in 1987. In 1997, a heat feeder line to Leopoldov and Hlohovec was created, branching off from the Trnava line.
