Czech state power company ČEZ has chosen France’s Framatome and US-based Westinghouse as nuclear fuel suppliers for its Temelín nuclear power station for the next 15 years, shunning a competing offer from Russia’s Tvel which had supplied the plant in the past years.
The two companies will start delivering fuel to the Temelín in 2024, and the contract is worth “billions of crowns”, ČEZ said.
Temelín has two Russian-type VVER units that began commercial operation in 2002 and 2003.
