[EUROASIA] Russian reactor builder to provide details on Turkish plant bid

Russian nuclear power plant builder Atomstroyexport will by mid-December meet Turkey's request for further information on the company's bid to build a power plant, a senior company official said on Friday.

Atomstroyexport, acting through a consortium with Russian power producer Inter RAO UES and Turkey's Ciner Group, is competing in a tender to build four nuclear reactors in Turkey.

"Turkey has requested additional information on the project that we proposed at the tender. They have asked for clarification of details, including on the reactor and the construction timeframe. We will answer the questions by December 15," the source told RIA Novosti.

The Turkish government was scheduled to declare the winner of the tender in October, but has yet to do so.

Atomstroyexport, established in 1998, has completed or is working on reactors in Iran, Bulgaria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, China and India.
