ACCELERATING THE TRANSITION TO NUCLEAR ENERGY SYSTEMS IN TURKEY
Abstract
Turkey is the country which imports electricity. Advanced and almost all of the countries that have achieved sustainable development have made investment nuclear power plants about 40 years ago and these countries provide at least 20% to 70% of its energy needs from nuclear energy. Policy makers of Turkey have various goals to achieve through electricity generation in nuclear power plants (NPP). In this way, they are targeting to to decrease the current deficit caused by such dependence. This paper analyzes Turkey’s past and present stuations, motivation, capacity and strategies to determine the factors which influence spread of nuclear power and accelerating the transition to nuclear energy.
