AtkinsRealis, a Canadian company, has signed an agreement with Turkey's state-owned nuclear energy company TUNAS to conduct a feasibility study for expanding Turkey's nuclear power program. The study, which will be completed by the end of 2027, aims to assess a potential multiunit nuclear project, including front-end engineering and design work. Turkey is looking to expand beyond the 4.8-gigawatt Akkuyu plant under construction by Russia's Rosatom in Mersin Province. Potential sites for new plants include Sinop on the Black Sea and the Thrace region in northwestern Turkey. The Akkuyu project, Turkey's first nuclear power plant, has faced repeated delays, with Rosatom now targeting the first reactor to achieve a self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction before the end of 2023. Joe St. Julian, president of nuclear at AtkinsRealis, mentioned discussions about a six-unit plan for a 4.5-gigawatt plant, with engineering design study completion by 2028 leading to a final investment decision. Financing details were also agreed upon. The agreement was signed during the COP31 climate summit in Antalya, Turkey. Turkey has been in talks with Canada, South Korea, Russia, Japan, and China regarding potential nuclear plants, having signed memorandums of understanding with Canada and South Korea. Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar outlined plans to increase nuclear capacity to 10 GW by 2040, with nuclear power expected to meet 11% of electricity demand by then, marking 2027 as a key decision year for projects in Sinop or Thrace.
