Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power is accelerating its entry into the European nuclear power market based on "triangular cooperation" linking Romania and the Czech Republic. The company plans to enhance the stability of equipment procurement by expanding supply chain cooperation with local companies and to connect this cooperation to future nuclear power projects in the Czech Republic.

On the 10th, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power announced that it had signed a contract at its headquarters with CICM, a Czech cable specialist company, to supply cable equipment needed for the construction of the tritium removal facility in Romania.

This contract was pursued to ensure the smooth execution of the Romania tritium removal facility construction project, in which Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power is participating as an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contractor. In this project, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power oversees the entire process from design to equipment procurement and construction, and through this contract it has secured key cable equipment used in the power supply, communications, control, and fire protection fields.

CICM is a specialized company that has supplied plant equipment cables to nuclear power plants including the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant in the Czech Republic and to various facilities across Europe, and it has been recognized for its technological capabilities and quality competitiveness in the field. Taking this cooperation as an opportunity, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power plans to expand its network with Czech companies and establish a stable equipment supply system for nuclear power projects in Europe, including the future Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant project.

Park Insik, Head of the Export Business Division at Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, said, "This contract is highly meaningful not only for the stable execution of the Romania tritium removal facility project, but also as a starting point for local equipment supply cooperation in preparation for future nuclear power projects in the Czech Republic," adding, "We will continue to strengthen our nuclear power export competitiveness through cooperation with reliable partners in the European nuclear power market."
