French nuclear giant Areva said Tuesday it had signed a 15-year contract with Czech electricity group CEZ to provide uranium enrichment services for the Temelin nuclear power plant.

The value of the contract was not disclosed.

"This agreement will contribute to securing CEZ's long-term nuclear fuel supply and will also reinforce Areva's position on the European enrichment services market," the French company said in a statement.

CEZ — a major European energy producer — operates six nuclear reactors, which provide 31 percent of the Czech Republic's electricity.
