Quoique les autorités turques affirment, à priori ce sera toujours moins dangereux de faire construire leur prochaine centrale par d’autres pays que la Russie, d’autant plus qu’il s’agirait de pays non frontaliers et non impliqués dans les événements régionaux actuels (exception US mais fidèle allié de la TR)
Turkish Energy Minister Ali Rıza Alaboyun said plans have been made for Turkey’s third nuclear plant and Chinese, Japanese firms and U.S. companies have shown interest in an exclusive interview with the Anadolu Agency Editors’ Desk on Oct. 14.
“A third nuclear power plant is planned to be built in the northern area of İğneada [Kırklareli province]. We have been in talks with several companies. Chinese companies and U.S.-based Westinghouse have shown interest so far. We signed a memorandum of understanding. Japanese companies are also interested in the project,” he said.
The region in Kırklareli where the plant is planned to be built is famous for its floodplain forests.
Turkey’s first power plant project was undertaken by Russia’s Rosatom in the southern province of Akkuyu and Turkey’s second planned nuclear plant, to be constructed in the northern province of Sinop, was awarded to a Japanese-French consortium in May 2013.
Alaboyun also said Turkey has no energy issues with Russia amid rows over Syria.
