KHNP Ends Czech Nuclear Talks, Splitting Team Korea

On October 29, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) ended negotiations with a consortium of Daewoo E&C and Doosan Enerbility over a construction contract for the Dukovany nuclear power plant in the Czech Republic, a project valued at 26-27 trillion won ($19.4-20.23 billion). Yonhap reports KHNP announced the termination Thursday, while Business Korea describes conflict erupting within "Team Korea" over the contract, with Daewoo and Doosan pushing back on the talks' collapse. The breakdown sent Daewoo E&C and Doosan Enerbility shares tumbling, and Business Korea notes Industry Minister Kim backed KHNP's decision. Korean media frame this as a blow to the consortium's Czech project, though no blog or café reactions appear in the supplied documents.
