The Turkish and Japanese prime minister have signed a framework agreement for the Sinop nuclear power plant and cooperation between the countries. It is the final stage before a commercial contract.
Licences have been granted for the development of Turkey's first uranium mine. Anatolia ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß plans to start work at the Temrezli project so that production can begin in 2016.
Turkey stands to be the first country to use the Atmea1 reactor design by Areva and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. An accord signed today could see four of the units deployed at Sinop in the early 2020s.
