State-run Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) CEO Kim Hoe-chun met with Czech industry officials on Thursday (local time) to review progress on the Dukovany Nuclear Power Station project, marking one year since the two sides signed a landmark construction contract.
During his two-day visit to the Czech Republic on Wednesday and Thursday, the KHNP CEO joined Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan, Czech Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade Karel Havlicek, and key engineering partners for a Dukovany Steering Committee meeting to review the project's progress.
Participants reviewed progress on the project to build two nuclear reactors in the Dukovany region and discussed next steps, focusing on ensuring the project remains on schedule and strengthening bilateral cooperation.
On Thursday, KHNP separately hosted a Korea-Czech nuclear industry partnership event in Prague to celebrate the contract’s first anniversary, where Korea Electric Power Corp. Engineering & Construction (KEPCO E&C) and the Czech firm Energoprojekt Praha signed a design support services agreement.
