Turkey plans in the near-future six nuclear reactors, but Sinop is closest.

Technical feasibility studies that determine the site suitability of Turkey’s Sinop Nuclear Plant will be completed by the end of this year, Mitsubishi Heavy Industry’s Sinop Nuclear Energy President said in a recent interview.

The construction of Turkey’s second nuclear plant, after the first in Akkuyu in Turkey’s southern province of Mersin, plans to be located in the country’s northern region.

Speaking to Anadolu Agency, Mitsubishi Heavy Industry’s Sinop Nuclear Energy President Makoto Kanda said they target to finish all the feasibility studies, including technical and commercial, by March 2018.

In May 2013, the Turkish government accepted the Japanese government’s proposal to install four ATMEA1 reactors with a total capacity of about 4,800 megawatts for the Sinop project.
