Czech nuclear 'Team Korea' splits over costs

Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) has ended negotiations with the Daewoo E&C and Doosan Enerbility consortium over the construction contract for the Dukovany nuclear plant in the Czech Republic, a project valued at around 26–27 trillion won ($19.4–20.23 billion). Yonhap reports KHNP announced the end of talks on Oct. 29, and Business Korea notes the breakdown has sent Daewoo E&C and Doosan Enerbility shares tumbling. The Korea Times frames this as a conflict within 'Team Korea' over the construction contract, with cost disagreements at the center. Korean media coverage focuses on the financial and reputational stakes for the consortium, with Business Korea highlighting the 'blow' to the team as shares fell.
