Security was tightened at the Czech Republic's two nuclear power stations, Dukovany and Temelin, after an anonymous caller warned of an explosion at both plants, Dukovany spokesman Petr Spilka said Monday.

The caller contacted firefighters in the region where Dukovany is situated shortly before 9pm on Sunday, Spilka said.

Police searched both plants but did not find any device and emergency staff meetings were called at both facilities, he added.

The plants' operation was not affected, according to Spilka, who did not specify what extra security measures had been taken.
