Zoning decision issued for two new nuclear units at Dukovany

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has issued a zoning decision for the new nuclear units at Dukovany, which should allow the construction of up to two new reactors.

According to the ministry, it is a signal to all bidders for the construction of the new unit, who have until Tuesday to submit their final bids. The first new unit should be completed by 2036.

Last year, the state announced a tender for the construction of one new unit at Dukovany. Last autumn, the French company EDF, Korea's KHNP and the North American Westinghouse submitted the first bids.
