Korea Electric Power Corporation has submitted a preliminary proposal to Turkey for the construction of four APR-1400 reactors at an undisclosed site in the northern part of the country.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Russia's Vladimir Putin discussed progress on building Turkey's first nuclear power plant as the latest landmark saw the inner containment dome installed in the design position at Akkuyu unit 1.

The second unit at Turkey's Akkuyu nuclear power plant has had the installation of its reactor pressure vessel completed.

The operation to mount the circular bridge crane - a key part of the reactor building that will be used at all stages of the plant's life cycle - took about four hours to complete.

Turkey's Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources says it has taken the "necessary initiatives to resolve the conflict between the parties" after the Rosatom subsidiary Akkuyu Nuclear was reported to have terminated the contract with Turkish firm IC Içtaş.

First safety-related concrete has been poured for the fourth unit of the Akkuyu nuclear power plant under construction in the Mersin province of Turkey. The Akkuyu project - Turkey's first nuclear power plant - is based on an intergovernmental agreement Russia and Turkey signed in 2010.

The Atomenergomash factory in Volgodonsk, Russia is manufacturing the bottom of the reactor pressure vessel for Turkey's Akkuyu 4.

Construction has begun of the foundation slab for the turbine building of unit 4 at the Akkuyu nuclear power plant in Turkey.

The main components of the turbine plant of Akkuyu unit 1 - including the stator, turbine generator rotor and low-pressure cylinder - have been delivered to the construction site in Turkey.

Installation has been completed of the main equipment within the reactor building of unit 1 of the Akkuyu nuclear power plant in Turkey. The Russian-supplied VVER-1200 is scheduled to start up next year.

A high-pressure press for the treatment of solid radioactive wastes at the Akkuyu nuclear power plant under construction in Turkey has passed factory acceptance tests. German engineering company Nukem Technologies and Russia's Nikimt-Atomstroy said they are now ready to deliver the equipment to the plant site.

A cargo ship carrying materials and equipment for the Akkuyu nuclear power plant - including the reactor pressure vessel for unit 2 - has arrived from Russia at the construction site on the southern coast of Turkey.
