COMPANIES South Korea’s plans to become a global player in the nuclear industry were boosted on Wednesday by the signing of a co-operation agreement between Korea Electric Power Corporation (Kepco) and Turkey’s Elektrik Üretim (EUAS), the two countries’ state power companies.
The deal gives Kepco five months to conduct feasibility studies and produce a bid to build a 5,600 megawatt plant with four reactors in the Black Sea province of Sinop, Taner Yildiz, energy minister, confirmed in a telephone interview.
