US$22 billion. 89 Site preparation work started in April 2015 90 and it was estimated that US$3 billion had been spent as of autumn 2015. 91 In January 2016, Akkuyu Nuclear submitted to the Atomic Energy Authority its final site parameter report, which must be approved before a construction license can be granted. 92 There are suggestions that Rosatom may sell a 49 percent of its stake to one of Turkey’s leading construction conglomerates, Cengiz Insaat, and that this is part of a political maneuver to keep the deal alive given the souring of relations between Russia and Turkey. 93 This claim was widely published in the Turkish media but denied by Rosatom. 94 It was also reported in October 2015 that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Russia risked losing the Akkuyu deal as a result of Russian intervention in Syria. 95 In June 2016, Russia’s permanent representative to the IAEA said that work on Akkuyu “is likely to resume following the rapprochement between the two countries”, which evidently indicates that work is suspended as of the time of the statement. 96 Sinop Another proposed project is at Sinop, on the northern coast, where the latest project proposal is for 4.4 GW using the ATMEA reactor design. If completed this would be the first reactor of this design, jointly developed by Mitsubishi and AREVA. 97 In April 2015, Turkish President Erdogan approved parliament’s ratification of the intergovernmental agreement with Japan. 98 The estimated cost of the project is US$22 billion and involves a consortium of Mitsubishi, AREVA, GDF-Suez (now known as Engie), and Itochu, who between them will own 51 percent of the project, with the remaining 49 percent owned by Turkish companies including the State-owned 89 Vatan, “Russian pressed for money, Akkuyu delayed 2 years”, 24 March 2015, see http://www.gazetevatan.com/ruslar-paraya-sikisti-akkuyu-2-yil-gecikecek-752934-ekonomi/, accessed 29 March 2016. 90 WNN, “Ground broken for Turkey's first nuclear power plant”, 15 April 2015, see http://www.worldnuclear-news.org/NN-Ground-broken-for-Turkeys-first-nuclear-power-plant-1541501.html, accessed 1 July 2016. 91 Hurriyet Daily News, “$3 billion spent on Akkuyu power plant so far: CEO”, 29 September 2015, see http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/3-bln-spent-on-akkuyu-power-plant-so-farceo.aspx?pageID=238&nID=89154&NewsCatID=348, accessed 1 July 2016. 92 NIW, “Briefs—Turkey”, 15 January 2016. 93 NIW, “Newbuild, Moscow Eyes Turkish Parnters for Akkuyu”, 29 April 2016. 94 ITAR/TASS, “Russia's Rosatom denies plans for sale of Turkish NPP project share — CEO”, Information Telegraph Agency of Russia/Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union, Russian News Agency, 27 April 2016; see http://special.itar-tass.com/en/economy/872784, accessed 1 July 2016. 95 AFP, “Erdogan warns Russia risks losing Turkey energy deals over Syria”, Agence France Presse, 8 October 2015, see https://www.yahoo.com/news/erdogan-warns-russia-over-turkey-nuclear-gas-deals- 090402732.html?ref=gs, accessed 1 July 2016. 96 Sputnik International, “Russian Nuclear Power Plant Deal With Turkey to Progress After Thaw,” 30 June 2016; see http://sputniknews.com/business/20160630/1042237791/akkuyu-russia-turkey.html, accessed 4 July 2016. 97 WNN, “Turkish utility eyes large stake in Sinop project”, 12 May 2015, see http://www.world-nuclearnews.org/C-Turkish-utility-eyes-large-stake-in-Sinop-project-12051501.html, accessed 1 July 2016. 98 WNN, “Ground broken for Turkey's first nuclear power plant”, 15 April 2015, see http://www.worldnuclear-news.org/NN-Ground-broken-for-Turkeys-first-nuclear-power-plant-1541501.html, accessed 1 July 2016.

electricity generating company (EÜAS). 99 The ongoing problems with the financial viability of AREVA will affect its ability to invest in the project. Construction is currently expected to start in 2017. However, an Environmental Impact Assessment, which could take up to two years, is still outstanding. 100 The project is complicated by the region’s lack of large-scale demand and the existing coal power stations, so 1,400 km of transmission lines will be needed to take the electricity to Istanbul and Ankara. Reports at the end of 2014 suggested that the project would be further delayed, by up to two years—the fourth delay in two years. This has led to extreme frustration with the bidders, with one company representative saying of the process: “They’re basically at the point where no one believes them anymore.” 101 İğneada In October in 2015, the government suggested that it was aiming to build a third power plant, at the İğneada site. The most likely bidders for the project are said to be Westinghouse and the Chinese State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation (SNPTC), with Chinese companies “aggressively” pursuing the contract, said to be worth US$22-25 billion. 102 The Daily Sabah newspaper noted that “the İğneada district is located some 10 kilometers south of Turkey’s border with Bulgaria and famous for its natural beauty and beach, which is likely to raise questions as to its environmental impact. 103 Additional doubts have been raised by the Deputy Undersecretary for the Turkish Ministry of Energy and National Resources, who stated that “having three different projects with three different technologies is not sound.” 104 A decision by the Prime Minster of Vietnam of July2011 stated that by 2020 the first nuclear power plant will be in operation, with a further 7 GW of capacity to be in operation by 2025 and total of 10.7 GW in operation by 2030. The previous October Vietnam had signed an intergovernmental agreement with Russia’s Atomstroyexport to build the Ninh Thuan-1 nuclear power plant, using 1200 MW VVER reactors. Construction was slated to begin in 2014, with the turnkey project being owned and operated by the state utility Electricity of Vietnam (EVN). However, numerous delays have occurred and in December 2015, Atomic Energy Agency Director-General Hoang Anh Tuan that construction would start in 2020, a six-year delay of the 99 WNN, “Turkish utility eyes large stake in Sinop project”, 12 May 2015, see http://www.world-nuclearnews.org/C-Turkish-utility-eyes-large-stake-in-Sinop-project-12051501.html, accessed 1 July 2016. 100 NW, “IEA head voices support for Turkish nuclear program”, 1 October 2015. 101 NIW, “Weekly Review”, 27 September 2015. 102 NEI, “Turkey finalizes site for third NPP”, 18 March 2016, see http://www.neimagazine.com/news/newsturkey-finalizes-site-for-third-npp-4843161/, accessed 1 July 2016. 103 Daily Sabah, “Turkey reveals location of planned third nuclear plant”, 14 October 2015, see http://www.dailysabah.com/energy/2015/10/14/turkey-reveals-location-of-planned-third-nuclear-plant, accessed 1 July 2016. 104 NIW, “Akkuyu EIA Approved: A New Consortium Emerges”, 1 December 2014.
