Who's going to build it?


The forward-thinking Czech Republic wants to get building (despite the 2025 finish date) two more nuclear reactors at Temelin.   Three companies, including the U.S. firm Westinghouse, are in the bidding.  France's Areva was recently kicked out of the competition, but is appealing, and that's slowing everything down.  But that means the Yanks and the Russians are still in contention.

Unlike other nearby nations, getting these reactors at Temelin built would mean that the Czech Republic will be getting about half of its energy from reliable, non-greenhouse gas polluting, nuclear energy.

That IS forward thinking.
