EDF complaint blocks Czech-Korean nuclear deal

A Czech court said Tuesday it blocked a multi-billion-dollar deal between Prague and South Korea's KHNP on the construction of two nuclear units following a complaint by France's EDF. KHNP won the contract last July after beating EDF in the tender, but the French giant filed an appeal with the Czech antitrust watchdog UOHS. When the UOHS rejected the appeal last week, EDF filed a lawsuit.
