Slovenia's Krsko NPP Awards 22.9 Mln Euro Deal to Spain's Tecnatom

Slovenia's sole nuclear power plant (NPP) Krsko has awarded a 22.9 million euro ($25.5 million) contract for nuclear safety services to Spanish engineering company Tecnatom, a notice in the European Union’s procurement journal showed on Thursday.

The contract covers the design and engineering for the auxiliary control room in the plant, as well as the supply of the equipment, the notice in Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) showed.

The given value of the deal excludes value added tax.

Krsko was built in Slovenia near the border with Croatia in the 1970s when the two countries were still part of former Yugoslavia. The two neighbours share the power plant's output.
