On Tuesday Oct. 31, 2023, three energy companies including U.S. Westinghouse, France's EdF and Korea's KHNP, have submitted their final bids to build the Czech Republic's newest reactor at the Dukovany nuclear power station as the country strives to become more energy independent and wean itself of fossil fuels. – Three energy companies including U.S.

Last year, the Czech government excluded Russia’s energy giant Rosatom and China’s CNG from the tender process on security grounds. The Czech Republic already relies on six nuclear reactors to generate more than a third of its total electricity. Besides the four in Dukovany, state-controlled power company CEZ operates another two 1,000-megawatt reactors at the Temelin plant. CEZ will be in charge of the tender.

Another two European Union countries in Central Europe, Slovakia and Hungary, have also been working to expand nuclear power production while 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.
