Chance to Win Nuclear Power Plant Orders in Czech Republic Despite ‘Han vs Russia’ Second Wave Match Controversy

[이데일리 문승관 기자] Orders for the Dukobani nuclear power plant in the Czech Republic with an operating cost of 6 billion euros (about 7.87 trillion won) are very likely to be squeezed in the second wave of Korea and Russia. Despite the nuclear power plant controversy, KHNP organized the “ Team Korea ” consisting of KEPCO E&C, KEPCO Fuel, Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction and Daewoo E&C to open an office in the local area and conduct volunteer work and interviews with officials governmental. They are actively working a few weeks ago.

While the Franco-Japanese consortium was eliminated, KHNP and Rosatom in Russia, Westinghouse in the US, EDF in France and China Nuclear Power Group Corporation (CGN) in China completed the second negotiations. It is said to have received the highest praise.

According to the nuclear power plant industry and local media on the 22nd, the Czech Electric Power Corporation (CEZ) conducted a second round of negotiations with the candidate for the Dukobani nuclear power plant by the end of last month. CGN) has conducted specific discussions with five companies.

CEZ spokesman Ladislav Kriz said in an interview with the Czech state news agency Cheteka (CTK) on the 10th (local time), “We have focused on discussing the supplier introduction model” and “if possible, on offers for candidates. It was prepared quickly. There are no changes in the offer plan at the end of the year. “

The Czech government plans to publish a bidding guide in places where it wishes to participate in the project and to start bidding next year to confirm nuclear power plant operators by 2022. Tenders for power plants are expected nuclear power plants will be carried out on a turnkey basis (design tender and construction lot).

The reason Kahn Suwon and Rosatom had a second wave of warfare was because ATMEA, a joint venture between Japan’s Mitsubishi and France Areva, was eliminated during the second round of negotiations. Although the Dark Horse has been eliminated, it is not known whether it will overcome the wall of the Russian Rosatom, the strongest opponent. However, the fact that the controversy over injustice has grown as it was revealed that Rosatom had illegally handed over key information relating to the offer of nuclear power plants by CEZ employees should be beneficial.

A nuclear power plant official said: “Rosatom is better than after a strong offer. He said: “We have built a solid alliance with the Czech Republic by operating six nuclear power plants in the Czech Republic,” he said. “We are firmly positioned as the world’s number 1 in the global nuclear power plant market.”

However, it is analyzed that Han Suwon, who was competing with Rosa Tom, was making reflective profits when Rosatom, a major trader, faced a dispute over information leakage about the offers.

The official said: “Information leaks about offers may be decisive bad news for Rosatom.” It can be a good thing for us. “

The Czech government is promoting the construction of one or two nuclear power plants with a 1000 MW class in Dukobani and Temelin respectively. The Czech government will start bidding later this year to conduct the evaluation. The final operator will be selected in 2022, construction will begin in 2029 and is expected to be completed in 2036
