TURKISH FIRM WILLING TO COOPERATE IN NUCLEAR ENERGY PROJECTS
ANKARA (A.A) - 18.06.2010 - A Turkish energy firm expressed on Friday willingness to cooperate in construction of nuclear power plants in Turkey.
Turkey's Sabanci Holding Energy Group said it was negotiating with Russia and South Korea on construction of nuclear power plant in Turkey.
"We may negotiate if they (the two countries) seek partners in Turkey," Sabanci Energy Group's Chairman Selahattin Hakman told a press conference in Ankara.
Hakman also said Sabanci Holding was interested in natural gas storing, exporting and trade, not distributing.
Operating in 18 countries and market their products in various regions in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, North Africa and North and South America, Sabanci Holding had a consolidated revenue of US$ 12.2 billion with an EBITDA of US$ 2.6 billion in 2009.
In March, Turkey signed a cooperation protocol with South Korea to establish a nuclear energy power plant in the northwestern province of Sinop.
Russia and Turkey signed in May during President Dmitry Medvedev's visit to Turkey a $20bn project that would allow Russia to build and own a stake in the planned nuclear power plant on Turkey's southern coast. Russia's state-controlled building group Atomstroiexport will lead construction of the plant.
At the beginning of June, Turkey Atomic Energy Agency (TAEK) and Russia's Federal Environmental, Industrial and Nuclear Supervision Service (ROSTECHNADZOR) signed a cooperation agreement that foresees information and know-how exchange on licensing of nuclear facilities and activities.
Under the agreement, TAEK and ROSTECHNADZOR will cooperate in the areas of regulations for licensing and supervision, protection from radiation, management of quality of nuclear facilities, radioactive fuels and fuel waste management, and safety regulations for nuclear/radioactive materials and radioactive wastes, emergency reaction and readiness and training for supervisory personnel.
