Turkey is talking to Russia, China, and South Korea about the proposed construction of two new nuclear power stations, Ankara’s official Anadolu news agency quoted a government official as saying.

Salih Sari, head of the directorate of nuclear energy at the Turkish energy and natural resources ministry, told Anadolu that negotiations with Russia and South Korea are for the Sinop project on the Black Sea coast in northern Turkey, while those with China are for a nuclear plant site in its European Thrace region.
