UPDATE 1-Czech govt to call tender for Dukovany nuclear unit in coming weeks

[admin]

The Czech government will call a planned tender to build a multi billion-dollar nuclear power unit at CEZ's Dukovany plant in the coming weeks, Prime Minister Petr Fiala said in an interview with Czech Television on Sunday. The previous government last year sent security questionnaires to three potential bidders - Westinghouse of the United States, France's EDF and South Korea's KHNP - after candidates from China and Russia were excluded on security grounds. Fiala, whose administration took power in December, said that exclusion would continue.
