Westinghouse signs up Czech builder Metrostav as partner in Temelín bid

Westinghouse has signed an exclusive partnership with the Czech Republic’s biggest local construction company, Metrostav, in a bid to put it ahead of rival bidders for the contract to build two new nuclear reactors at the Temelín plant. If Westinghouse wins, the reward for Metrostav — which has no nuclear experience but has worked on ČEZ  contracts to build conventional power plants — should be around a third of the value of the whole Kč 200 billion deal.
