Czech government now seeks to build up to 4 nuclear reactors instead 1 to reduce price

Associated Press  

PRAGUE — The Czech government said Wednesday it plans to build up to four nuclear reactors instead of one as the country tries to become more energy independent and wean itself off fossil fuels. Three companies including U.S. firm Westinghouse, France’s EDF and Korea’s KHNP originally submitted bids to build one reactor at the Dukovany nuclear power station. Fiala said nuclear energy “is key for ensuring enough electricity at reasonable prices.” Another two European Union countries in Central Europe, Slovakia and Hungary, have been working to expand nuclear power production. Another neighbor, Poland, has selected Westinghouse to build its first nuclear power plant as part of an effort to burn less coal and gain greater energy independence.
