Yildiz speaks on second nuclear power plant to be constructed in Turkey

Speaking to reporters yesterday in the central Anatolian city of Kayseri, Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said that Turkey would narrow down its foreign bidders, namely, China, South Korea, Japan and Canada, for the construction of a second nuclear power plant in the northern city of Sinop in the Black Sea Region by the end of this month, and thus eliminate one of the current bidders from the race and eventually select the winning bid by the end of the year. Yildiz added that their aim was to provide Turkey with two nuclear power plants with an investment of a minimum of $45 billion in the next decade.
