With the Muslim Brotherhood running Turkey, I suspect they want more than just nuclear ‘energy’ out of these proposed plants:
IBTIMES – The Anatolia News Agency reported over the weekend that Turkey’s prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Japanese leader Shinzo Abe signed an agreement in the Turkish capital of Ankara for the development of a 5,000-megawatt atomic power plant in Sinop, on Turkey’s northern coast along the Black Sea.
…
The Sinop plant will be constructed by a Japanese-French consortium led by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. (TYO: 7011) of Japan and Areva S.A. (EPA: AREVA) of France.
…
Russia’s Rosatom has already agreed to build Turkey’s first nuclear power station — at Akkuyu, in Büyükeceli, Mersin Province on the southern coast — starting in mid-2015. It is expected to start producing electricity by 2019.
“This [project with Japan] is a very important deal,” Erdogan told reporters. “With this second nuclear plant, we have also taken the first step toward a third one, which is a lot to us.”
