Akkuyu test and 20GW: Turkey's nuclear quest
Turkey is looking to operate the first unit of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant in the coming months, aiming to reach a total production capacity of 20 gigawatts by 2050. The project faces challenges related to technology, funding, and legislation. Currently, it is constructing four reactors with the assistance of the Russian company Rosatom, with the physical start-up of the first unit expected in the second half of December 2023. The project aims to reduce reliance on imports and lower carbon emissions, requiring the development of new nuclear systems and a review of the legal framework to achieve long-term goals.
