Türkiye aims for affordable and safe nuclear power, says Minister
Türkiye aims to have nuclear power at competitive prices, while also ensuring it has the safest technology and is characterized by a high level of domestic content, said Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar, adding that efforts in this direction are ongoing.
According to a statement from the Energy Ministry, Bayraktar visited the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant in Constanța, Romania, where Canadian CANDU reactor technology is used, and received information about the reactors and the technology.
Speaking there, Bayraktar recalled that Türkiye has a target of reaching 20,000 megawatts of nuclear capacity by 2050.
Türkiye wants both to develop nuclear energy with competitive prices and to make these investments, while also adopting the safest technology, Bayraktar said.
