DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8nkwkt/nuclear_power_mark) has announced the addition of the "Nuclear Power Market in Turkey" report to their offering.
Turkey currently has no nuclear plant and is very keen on having one soon. Recent developments have seen Russia take a leading role in offering to finance and build 4800 MWe of nuclear capacity. Application has been made for construction and operating licenses for the first plant, at Akkuyu.
With the rise in demand for electricity, the Turkish government said that it planned to have three nuclear power plants of total 4500 MWe operating by 2012-15. Discussions had been under way with Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd regarding two 750 MWe CANDU units as an initial investment. These and the PWR type were apparently preferred. The first units of some 5000 MWe total were to be built at Akkuyu, since the site was already licensed, but licensing was also proceeding for Sinop. In May 2008 a civil nuclear cooperation agreement with the USA entered into force, and in June 2010 a nuclear cooperation agreement with South Korea was signed.
There are proposals to build further nuclear capacity at another site, as part of 100 GWe required by 2030. Reports suggest that TAEK has identified Igneada on the Black Sea, 12 km from the Bulgarian border, as a third nuclear power plant site. Ankara - with low seismic risk - and Tekirdag on the northwest coast of the Sea of Marmara have also been mentioned as possible sites.
