Wanted: Nuclear Power
28 January 2007

FOCUS INFORMATION AGENCY (Belgrade)- Almost all Balkan countries plan to build new, large nuclear power plants, the Serbian newspaper Vecernje Novosti writes. Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia and probably Croatia will invest in nuclear power plants, and Serbia, which is being criticized over the Strategy for Energy Development, which it adopted recently, plans to build a new thermal-electric power plant Kolubara by 2015. The new 700-mega watt plant is expected to satisfy the country’s energy needs. Serbia has a deficit of about 450 mega watts since the annual consumption increases constantly by about 4.5%.
