The Czech electricity authority, which selected a South Korean consortium as the preferred bidder for the construction of two new nuclear reactors, will send a large delegation to South Korea next month to negotiate the final contract.
According to industry sources on Thursday, Elektrárna Dukovany II, a subsidiary of the Czech power company CEZ and the entity commissioning the Dukovany nuclear project, will send a delegation of around 60 people to South Korea around November 10 to conduct detailed negotiations with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power(KHNP).
The delegation will include nuclear energy experts, representatives of the commissioning agency, and high-ranking officials from CEZ.
During the visit, the delegation plans to hold the final negotiations with KHNP.
The Czech antitrust authority has reportedly put a temporary hold on the nuclear deal in response to appeals filed by Westinghouse and the French energy company Electricité de France.
