Akkuyu Nukleer AS, the nuclear power company controlled by Russia’s state-run Rosatom Corp., annulled its contract with a Turkish builder and instead chose a Russian contractor for the remaining work on Turkey’s $20 billion atomic plant. 

An engineering, supply and construction contract with Ankara-based IC Ictas was canceled and a deal was signed with TSM Enerji Insaat, Akkuyu Nukleer said in a statement on Saturday.
