The supply of Kazakh natural uranium concentrates over the next seven years is projected to meet around one-third of the uranium requirements for Westinghouse-manufactured fuel assemblies at the Temelín nuclear power plant. This agreement bolsters the energy security of the Czech Republic and reinforces the plant's role in delivering clean and sustainable energy.
