Czech Republic to send delegation to South Korea for 'nuclear talks' next month

Czech power authorities will enter the country next month for working-level negotiations ahead of the final contract at the Czech nuclear power plant.

The Czech Electric Power Corporation and its subsidiary, which ordered the Dukovani nuclear power plant project, will send a delegation of about 60 people to Korea by the middle of next month.

The delegation plans to divide into four divisions and conduct a two-week schedule, such as inspecting the operation of Korean nuclear power plants and looking around the site.

However, it is known that the specific schedule is still being discussed by the Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co. and the Czech Power Authority.

Earlier, France Electric Power Corp and U.S. Westinghouse filed a complaint with Czech anti-trust authorities, but separately, they are believed to be trying to proceed normally with the negotiation process ahead of a final contract in March.
