Almost two months ago, a Russian drone broke through the expensive shell of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which had an accident in 1986. The danger is not immediate, but because of the radiation, the sheath needs to be repaired. And that is neither easy nor cheap
The French company Ezis, which infamously supervised the railway station in Novi Sad, is now, by order of the state, questioning how Serbia can build a nuclear power plant. "If we're lucky, maybe it won't cost us the lives of our citizens," says nuclear physics professor Miodrag Krmar
How do you imagine horror? The Ministry of Mining and Energy, for example, engaged the French company "Ežis", whose daughter company is connected with the fall of the canopy in Novi Sad, to draw up a plan for the construction of a nuclear power plant in Serbia.
Serbia is ready for a nuclear marriage, but as with any courtship, all kinds of questions are open - the most important is certainly with whom, although there is no shortage of candidates for the groom, as evidenced by the agreements on nuclear cooperation with both France and Russia. However, the question of whether Serbia, without personnel, is mature enough for this adventure is also important
At the stormy session of the Assembly, among other things, amendments to the Law on Energy were adopted, opening up the possibility of building a nuclear power plant in Serbia. All this takes place in the days when the president, together with the tabloids, sows the fear of the outbreak of a nuclear war. Does Serbia even need a nuclear power plant?
The technology company Google has announced that it will cooperate with the startup "Kairos Power" to build seven small modular reactors (SMR) in the United States of America.
There is no fear that things could go wrong if Serbia were to start implementing the nuclear program project, says nuclear physicist Vladimir Udovicic for "Vreme". Not everyone is so convinced that nuclear power plants are the best solution for Serbia, while the law that prohibited their construction until now is being changed
The public debate on the Draft Law on Amendments to the Law on Energy has begun. Amendments to the law would bring numerous changes, and the ban on the construction of nuclear power plants would be lifted on the territory of Serbia
The head of the Dnipropetrovsk regional military administration, Sergej Lysak, confirmed that the fire at the nuclear plant was extinguished. Moscow and Kiev traded accusations over who was to blame for the provocation and potential nuclear incident
If Serbia were to lift the moratorium on nuclear energy, the basic question is where, if that happens, the first Serbian nuclear power plant would be built. Experiences from the immediate neighborhood indicate that nuclear plants are being built on the banks of the Danube and the Sava. There is no place in Europe that is more than 500 kilometers from the nearest reactor
Before tomorrow's conversation between Vučić and Macron on energy, it is not bad to know: in the USA, the largest project of small modular reactors was abandoned in 2023 after the estimated price increased from 5,3 to as much as 9,3 billion dollars
The consequence of the collapse of the Djibouti dam is that the water level in the reservoir near the largest European nuclear power plant, Zaporozhye, which serves to cool the reactor and fuel, is dropping at a rate of 5 centimeters per hour. If the flow of cooling water were to stop, there would be a meltdown of the reactor and a nuclear disaster
