Turkey Explores US-South Korea Partnership for Second Nuclear Plant
Turkey is exploring a trilateral partnership with the United States and South Korea for its second nuclear power plant. Talks have expanded to include these nations, previously focused on China. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has discussed reactor options with Canadian and French leaders.
Turkey aims for the second plant to provide reliable, low-cost power, along with technology transfer and training. While no specific timeline is set for the US-Turkey contract signing, talks are ongoing under a 'trilateral model' involving South Korea. This comes after initial discussions with China were broadened to include the United States and South Korea.
Meanwhile, the first nuclear power plant, Akkuyu, is under construction with Russia's Rosatom. It is expected to commence operations in 2026.
Turkey's nuclear power expansion continues with the second plant's partnership talks. The country seeks competitive, reliable power generation, along with technological advancements and training opportunities. The first plant, Akkuyu, remains on track for a 2026 launch.
