The year-long survey, scheduled to conclude by August next year, will examine the characteristics of the proposed construction site to provide essential data for the plant's design.
The ceremony last Saturday was attended by KHNP President and CEO Hwang Joo-ho; Petr Zavodsky, CEO and Chairman of the Management Board of Elektrárna Dukovany II (EDU II), the Czech project subsidiary; Czech Minister of Industry and Trade Jozef Síkela; South Korean Ambassador to the Czech Republic Hong Young-ki; and executives from CEZ EP, the local survey contractor.
Later in the day, in the nearby town of Trebic, KHNP also held events to extend its sponsorship under the town's regional council partnership program, which includes support for the local ice hockey team.
KHNP has supported the Dukovany-based SK H.S.T. ice hockey team since 2018 as part of its efforts to build strong ties with the local community.
"The on-site survey is the first stage of the project and the practical starting point for the APR1000 design," Hwang said. "It is a critical step to ensure the contract schedule is met, and we will carry out the survey thoroughly and systematically as planned."
