On the morning of September 20, President Yoon Suk Yeol, alongside Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala, visited the Plzeň-based companies Doosan Škoda Power and Škoda JS. These firms are known for their core turbine technology and expertise in producing nuclear power plant equipment.

Upon arrival at Doosan Škoda Power, the two leaders participated in the "Nuclear Power Plant Full-Cycle Cooperation Agreement Ceremony." The event, attended by key nuclear-related companies, institutions, organizations from both nations, and Doosan Škoda Power employees, saw the signing of 13 Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs). These agreements cover critical areas of the nuclear ecosystem, including plant design, operation, nuclear fuel, and waste management.

A key development during the ceremony was the agreement signed by Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP), the preferred bidder for the Czech nuclear power plant construction project, along with Doosan Enerbility and Doosan Škoda Power. The agreement stipulates that if KHNP finalizes the contract for the new Czech nuclear power plant in March next year, turbines produced by Doosan Škoda Power in Plzeň will be used in the plant. This marks the first step toward realizing the vision of a “jointly built nuclear power plant” by Korea and the Czech Republic.

In his subsequent remarks, President Yoon highlighted three key points regarding the partnership. First, he emphasized that "Team Korea" has over 50 years of experience in safely constructing and operating nuclear power plants, expressing confidence that Korea would be the ideal partner for the Czech Republic. He assured that Korea would deliver the project "on time and on budget."

Finally, President Yoon suggested that through nuclear cooperation, Korea and the Czech Republic could become leading players in the global nuclear renaissance. He called for the excellent nuclear power companies from both nations to unite in driving this shared future.
