The Turkish government has decided that Rosatom will build the country’s second NPP, Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachev told the State Duma (Russia’s lower house of parliament). The announcement was broadcast on the website of the lower house. “President [Taiip Revzhip] Erdogan publicly announced that a political decision had been made to transfer another site to us,” Likhachev noted. Now we are studying the details. Most likely, it will be a site called Sinop.”

The Japanese government has adopted a plan to extend the operation of existing nuclear power reactors and replace aging facilities with new advanced ones. The move is part of a policy that addresses global fuel shortages following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and seeks to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Unit 1 of the Akkuyu NPP in Turkey will be launched on time, by the 100th anniversary of the republic, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a recent meeting with Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan. "Our colleagues from governments and companies that are engaged in practical work are implementing all the plans. This also applies to the investment process and the construction of the Akkuyu nuclear power plant. Work is proceeding according to plan," he said. He noted that now about 20,000 people are working at the site, adding that it is planned to deliver nuclear fuel to the plant in May 2023 in preparation for the start-up of unit 1.

The project means Japan has joined a number of countries in the race to generate green hydrogen from a nuclear reactor – an achievement that could produce large quantities of low-carbon energy for industry, transport and home heating.
A number of initiatives have begun in different countries to transmit electricity produced by a nuclear plant – or another low-carbon energy facility such as solar – to electrolysers, which would produce green hydrogen.
The technology is reasonably mature, but remains expensive. Proponents say it can be commercialised for large-scale consumer use – possibly within years – to help bring about the transition to a zero-carbon hydrogen-based economy without the need for fossil fuels.

Turkey / New Reactors Will Help Meet ‘Massive’ Demand For Energy And Reduce Reliance On Fossil Fuels
According to Turkey’s ministry of energy and natural resources, energy consumption in 2012 was 239 TWh a year, while in 2023 forecasts say it could reach as much as 478 TWh.
However, Massimo Giorgi of NIATR told NucNet that the current energy mix will not meet demand and the lack of reliable, diversified, low-cost energy is an obstacle to Ankara’s economic plans.
Once fully operational, the $20bn Akkuyu nuclear power station, where Turkey is building four 1,114-MW pressurised water reactor units supplied by Russia, will provide about 10% of the country’s total electricity generation.

Turkey plans to build more nuclear power plants after it completes Akkuyu, the country's president said yesterday. "After Akkuyu nuclear power plant, we will swiftly begin preparations for our second and third power plants," Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said. Akkuyu is expected to generate its first electricity in 2023.

A Rosatom official told Tass that in February company representatives took part in consultations with Czech utility ČEZ on the Dukovany new-build project along with officials from other nuclear equipment suppliers.
The Rosatom delegation presented to ČEZ information about Rosatom’s projects and business models, the unnamed source said.
In March 2020, ČEZ filed for permission with the State Office for Nuclear Safety to build two new nuclear power plants at the Dukovany site, in the southeast of the country.
