The crisis around Dukovany. We know why the agreement with South Korean suppliers is stalled.
The situation regarding the construction of the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant is becoming unclear. While Czech Minister Karel Havlíček claims everything is on track despite failed negotiations with construction suppliers, South Korean media report a crisis management mode has been initiated. The South Korean company KHNP won the tender for the project, but key negotiations with the construction consortium have collapsed, causing uncertainty among Czech firms involved. KHNP insists the project timeline remains unchanged and is seeking a new contractor. The South Korean government is closely monitoring the situation to ensure timely reactor delivery without budget increases. Critics in Korea suggest KHNP may be shifting construction risks to suppliers, while the Czech government maintains all agreements are valid and the project is proceeding as planned.
