The power plant is to be built at Mersin in the south of the country on
the Mediterranean Sea.
The tender, by the state-owned electricity-generation company Teas,
concerned construction of a nuclear power plant in the Akkuyu zone with
minimum capacity of 600 megawatts and a maximum output of 2,800
megawatts.
One consortium comprises NPI, involving Siemens of Germany and Framatome of France, a French-German group GEL-A-Campenon Bernard-Hochtief, and Simko, Garanti Koza, STFA and Tekfen of Turkey.
The second consortium, led by Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd (AECL),
involves Kuaerner John Brown of Britain, Hitachi of Japan and Guris,
Gama and Bayindir of Turkey.
The third is formed of Westinghouse of the United States, Mitsubishi of
Japan and Enka-MNG of Turkey.
The consortium led by NPI has proposed a plant costing 4.48 billion dollars based on two reactors of 1,400 megawatts.
The second consortium led by AECL, has proposed two reactors each of 650
megawatts, costing 2.5 billion dollars. The solution offered by
Westinghouse based on a reactor of 1,200 megawatts would cost 3.27
billion dollars.
Turkish authorities are to take six months to study the proposals. Construction is to begin in 1999 and the first unit is to be in operation in 2006 and the second unit in 2007.
