Life after the moratorium
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

What does a progressive know what a nuclear power plant is
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?

Application of nuclear energy in Serbia: The study is done by the French
In mid-June, a tender was announced for the preparation of a preliminary technical study that considers the application of nuclear energy in Serbia. The job was won by the French, who will be paid about 120.000 euros for it

The half-life period of the moratorium
With the departure of the French president, did the famous Law on the Prohibition of the Construction of Nuclear Facilities come to an end, and that in an inglorious way, through transitional provisions? Somehow, the natural path of first divorcing the anti-nuclear path and then marrying the nuclear one was avoided, rather than the prohibition with such effects being lifted by being written in the margin of the Book of Marriages

Serbia's nuclear breakthrough: Adopted Memorandum of Understanding in the field of application of nuclear energy development
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

State policy of reactors and power stations
Ever since fundamental scientific research at the beginning of the 20th century, through De Gaulle's post-war strategic visions in the 50s, and adaptation to the new energy circumstances at the beginning of the 70s, France has over time, with inevitable ups and downs, become a world leader in terms of the participation of nuclear of energy in the energy mix and among the first in the world in the domain of the most modern technologies in the nuclear industry

Abstinence in the nuclear neighborhood
Although the construction of nuclear power plants is strictly prohibited, Serbia is surrounded by nuclear reactors - there is an entire arsenal of nuclear power plants in the immediate vicinity of our country. Nine reactors are active in Serbia's neighborhood, located in four countries: four in Hungary, two in Bulgaria, two in Romania and one in Slovenia, all built on the banks of the Sava and Danube rivers.

Awakening the nuclear specter
Will the Republic of Serbia abolish the Moratorium on the construction of nuclear power plants? And what comes next? Different countries obviously have different answers. For now, Serbia has started asking questions. And the biggest question of all, which will open immediately at the first bends when going down the nuclear road, is where the nuclear plant will be built. Which city in Serbia is ready to accept a nuclear reactor?
Felton: Alchemy of the Bomb (2/4)
Between Stalin and radiation
Their names cause fear. It is not necessary to know the structure of the atomic nucleus or to understand the force of the chain reaction, it is enough for someone in the room to say one of those terrifying words - Hiroshima, Chernobyl, Fukushima - the evil spirits of nuclear physics will immediately emerge from the dark corners. The dramatic history of the nuclear era is described in the book Alchemy of the Bomb Slobodan Bubnjević through twenty such terrible toponyms, diverse locations on the planet where the use of atomic energy left permanent scars and grew into symbols of modern times. The weekly "Vreme" brings excerpts from chapter 13, dedicated to the origin and development of the Vinca nuclear institute, in four installments.

Nuclear energy: Between the hammer and the nuke
Among the domestic elites, the increasingly popular story about modular nuclear reactors as a deux ex machina solution for Serbia's energy future sounds convenient and modern, but it has one unpleasant flaw - practically no one uses it yet. It may surprise you, but while around 450 conventional reactors are actively operating in the world today, the number of modular reactors currently providing electricity is exactly one
