Japan, France set to win Turkish nuclear plant deal
Worldwide, Daily news | ankakh | April 24, 2013 16:35A consortium of Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and France’s Areva are on track to win a deal to build a $20 billion nuclear power station in Turkey, a report said on Wednesday.
The top-selling Yomiuri Shimbun said Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo would likely sign the deal with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan during a visit to Turkey next week as part of a four-nation trip that ends on May 4.
Japan is increasingly looking abroad to grow its nuclear power business after demand fell away at home in the wake of the Fukushima atomic crisis two years ago.
Construction of the plant is slated to begin in 2017, with the first reactor coming online by 2023, Japan’s leading Nikkei business daily has reported.
