Atomstroyexport, Westinghouse and Areva file bids on Temelin-3, -4 project in Czech Republic by I-Nuclear Czech utility CEZ said July 2 it received three bids to supply two new nuclear reactors at its Temelin station, known as Temelin-3 and -4. The bids came, as expected, from Westinghouse, Areva and Atomstroyexport. The bids will now be evaluated and, after follow up discussions with the bidders, a contract award and purchase contract for the turnkey reactor project is expected later this year, the company said. The key question of state participation in the estimated €10 to €15 billion project, however, remains outstanding.
