The Russian state-owned nuclear group Rosatom has announced it began negotiations with its Turkish partners regarding the construction of a large-scale nuclear power plant on the Turkish Black Sea coast. This second nuclear power plant would be built near the city of Sinop (northern Turkey) and would be comprised of four units.
Rosatom, through its affiliate Akkuyu Nuclear, is currently building the 4.8 GW Akkuyu nuclear power plant, Turkey’s first nuclear plant, located on the Mediterranean coast in the Mercin province (southeast Turkey). The nuclear power plant consists of four VVER units of 1,200 MW which are expected to generate up to 35 TWh/year once fully operational. In July 2022, Rosatom started building the plant’s fourth unit.
