HAJÍČKOVÁ, Iva
The thesis deals with statistical investigation of selected tasks in population protection in emergency planning zones of nuclear power plants.The issues of population protection have been developing since 1930s up to now.Currently,the population protection is addressed particularly in concepts of population protection,while the most recent one is the Population Protection Concept until 2020 with an Outlook to 2030.The objective of the thesis was to compare awareness of the population in emergency planning zones of nuclear power plants.With regard to a potential extraordinary event,in this case a radiation accident,the awareness of the population plays a significant role.The theoretical part of the thesis analyzes population protection,legal regulations and documents dealing with this topic.It also defines measures in population protection which seek to mitigate impact of extraordinary events or emergency situations on health and lives of the population,property and the environment.The thesis also mentions emergency planning and describes types of emergency plans.The second section of the theoretical part describes selected statistical methods.The last chapter of the theoretical part describes methods of multidimensional statistics.The following hypotheses and partial hypotheses were formulated in the research part of the thesis to meet its objective: H1 There is no statistically significant difference between the emergency planning zone of the nuclear power plant Temelín and the emergency planning zone of the nuclear power plant Dukovany.H11 There is no statistically significant difference in awareness among men about a potential extraordinary event at NPP Temelín and NPP Dukovany.H12 There is no statistically significant difference in awareness among women about a potential extraordinary event at NPP Temelín and NPP Dukovany. H2 The awareness of the population in emergency planning zones of both the nuclear power plants has a theoretical distribution which is close to the normal distribution.H21 The awareness of the population (men) in the emergency planning zone of NPP Temelín has a theoretical distribution which is close to the normal distribution.H22 The awareness of the population (women) in the emergency planning zone of NPP Temelín has a theoretical distribution which is close to the normal distribution.H23 The awareness of the population (men) in the emergency planning zone of NPP Dukovany has a theoretical distribution which is close to the normal distribution.H24 The awareness of the population (women) in the emergency planning zone of NPP Dukovany has a theoretical distribution which is close to the normal distribution.All the formulated hypotheses were tested with methods of descriptive and mathematical statistics. The research was conducted with questionnaires handed out in the emergency planning zones of NPP Temelín and NPP Dukovany.The questionnaire consisted of 23 questions and it was filled out by 242 men and 270 women in the zones.All data used in the research were provided to me within the project "Population protection depending of differentiation of the population" safety survey (VG20132015122) performed at the department of radiology,toxicology and population protection at the Faculty of Health and Social Studies at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice in cooperation with the Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic.Results of the research have shown that the average awareness of the population living in the emergency planning zones of the nuclear power plants is less than 50% and that the knowledge of the population about a potential extraordinary event is not satisfactory.The population living in emergency planning zones of both the nuclear power plants could be exceptionally prepared for a potential non-standard situation, not only in the form of a Gauss curve.

Communication Strategy of the Temelín Nuclear Power Plant
Nekovářová, Lenka ; Král, Petr (advisor) ; Vokáč, Matěj (referee)
The thesis deals with the communication of the Temelín Nuclear Power Plant. Nuclear sources of energy are currently a sensitive issue. The planned extension of the Temelín NPP is also a frequently discussed topic in the Czech Republic; it affects many stakeholders and faces increased public and media interest. The goal of the thesis is to create a communication strategy of the Temelín NPP targeted to the public. The draft of the strategy is based on the conclusions of the SWOT analysis focused on the Temelín NPP communication, furthermore, on the analysis of selected online communication tools used by the Temelín NPP, and mainly on the quantitative survey conducted with the purpose to find out the actual public perception of the Temelín NPP and the public attitude to nuclear energy in general. The strategy also uses the knowledge of the company ČEZ media analysis and the findings of the sociological survey among inhabitants of the area close to Temelín compiled by STEM/MARK research agency.

Providing emergency supply of nuclear power plants
ROZMILER, Jiří
Work "Providing emergency power nuclear power plant" describes how solving their own consumption nuclear power plant, as emergency power supply is designed and how it should be a solution of known states of emergency, having an immediate impact on the power consumption of their own nuclear power plants. The aim of this thesis is to propose options to strengthen its own emergency power consumption of nuclear power plants, one might say-more resistant to harsh extremes, which could lead to loss of employment, reserve and emergency power, that is the condition called Station Black Out (SBO) - total loss of power. The work also includes calculations of short-circuit ratios emergency resources considered as strengthening, as well as the calculation of acceleration heaviest drive and a summary of the overall impacts of the proposed hardening.

Devices of radiation protection on the new nuclear source
LEŠTINA, Lukáš
The aim of the bachelor thesis is mapping the market with portable radiation protection devices offered by manufacturers specialized in nuclear measurement electronics, like Thermo Scientific, Canberra Packard and VF Černá Hora and subsequent comparison of for the purpose of finding operationally optimal solution of portable instrument for measurement of radiation quantities on a new nuclear source. At the beginning the reader is familiarized with occurrence of ionizing radiation, physical principles the instruments are based on and the radiation quantities by which the instruments interpret the final values. There is a description of the present state of portable measurement technologies used by radiation protection staff at Temelín Nuclear Plant. The description includes basic information, photos and specifications. A methodology with criteria of selection of new portable instruments was elaborated upon experience with the plant operation. Selected instruments from the large range by nuclear electronics manufacturers are described in an extra chapter. The discussion focuses on user comfort and suitability of the instruments based on the real situation of Temelín Nuclear Plant. Attention is also paid to versatility of the instruments and possibilities of their extension by additional devices like external probes of dose equivalent input, surface contamination or probes measuring dose equivalent input of neutrons. The instruments should correspond to the needs of the radiation protection staff as much as possible, so as they are able to fulfil the programme of monitoring on a new nuclear source in the most efficient manners.

Analysis of radiation control in the storage of spent nuclear fuel at NPP Temelín
PAPAN, Juraj
Problems of dealing with radioactive materials, especially burnt out nuclear fuel, are a delicate and discussed topic in the Czech Republic and other advanced countries nowadays. In this work, the realization of radiation control of warehouse of burnt-out atomic fuel of nuclear power plant Temelín is analysed. Step by step there are stored packaging files filled with burnt-out fuel which is produced by the running of atomic reactors. In the introductory chapters individual packaging files are described. The shielding of stored burnt-out nuclear fuel and prevention of release of radionuclides beyond the protective casing of packaging files depend on their quality. Further the lo-cality of nuclear plant Temelín, where the warehouse of burnt-out nuclear fuel is placed including manipulations which are carried out with the packaging file, is described. The emphasis is placed on monitoring technological parameters during the storage of pack-aging files. The target of this work is to analyse the radiation control of warehouse of burnt-out nuclear fuel, precautions of radiation protection valid for this object and con-sider the possibility of optimalization of used measuring devices, suggest the adjustment of the way of carried out monitoring. For meeting the goals of this works it was neces-sary to carry out monitoring the current radiation situation in the storage boat which is partly filled with packaging spaces when according to the following calculations I ap-proached to the prediction of the level of radiation situation during the maximum filled storage boat. These calculations are at the same time the background for the proposal of adjustment of regime precautions in this object with the aim to optimise the professional radiation. One of the basic strategic targets of the operator of nuclear plant Temelín, company ČEZ a.s., is to ensure a safe operation of the biggest Czech nuclear plant, one of the basic conditions for meeting this target is to ensure the radiation control and pro-tection in the required quality. The results, which are the output of this work, will be given to the department Operation of radiation protection for other practical usage, pos-sible adjustment of a current operation documentation which solves the radiation control of the storage of burnt-out nuclear fuel.
