Was?There was a Turkish company working on it. Figes.
There is next to no info on their website, which may equally be both good and bad. They should maintain confidentiality if they are getting somewhere.Was?
What happened to it?
Still, wonder why India, Egypt and Turkey didn't sign it.
Sure, so is UAE though. All three and UAE are also are interested in Japanese and Korean reactor technology. It's a little small get together and a photo op, hurts no one. Unimportant, but tad weird.Its a pledge, a "MOU". Means little, there is no supra-authority above nationstate govts to enforce these things.
These 3 also want to balance relations with Russia (including with ongoing and future nuclear energy technology) and are wary about any signalling and the joint working groups involved in this pledge.
Why was the Japanese program cancelled?Rosatom: We will build the second nuclear power plant in Turkey
"President Erdogan made it clear that there was a political decision to transfer another field to us. Now we are working on the details. Most likely, the new construction site will be named Sinop."
Directly says "transfer". Sinop was the planned site of the now cancelled Japanese program.
FUKUSHIMA.Why was the Japanese program cancelled?
Fukushima, Fukushima related new safety improvements making prices higher, not being able to come to a financing agreement G2G, Turkish economy. Per reports, project cost of 15+ billion had grown to 45+ billion in few years. Atmea was also a joint French Japanese program, don't know if there was French backtracking involved.Why was the Japanese program cancelled?
Turkey hasn't paid a single dollar for Akkuyu yet. I doubt the next plant will be built under the same build, operate, own scheme tho.So are we going to be scammed a second time with that Russian plant in Sinop like Akkuyu ? Or did we learn from our mistakes and made it to be more advantageous to us ?
This means Turkiye will be a nuclear power in the future.Rosatom: We will build the second nuclear power plant in Turkey

2nd Russian npp will probably come with extra benefits. Stuff like the closure of the nuclear fuel cycle. That means knowledge transfer on stuff like fuel enrichment, waste management, ore processing etc.
Once you have those, you can use those to make the necessary radioactive products.
Possible American nuclear tech back on the table?On rest of the interview, he also talks about joint panels between Turkish and American companies on energy cooperation and moving Israeli gas through Turkey. Suffice to say these two plans are now either postponed or dead altogether.
Enerji Bakanı Bayraktar, Akkuyu NGS'nin ilk reaktörünün 29 Ekim 2024'te devreye alınacağını bildirdi
Enerji ve Tabii Kaynaklar Bakanı Alparslan Bayraktar, Akkuyu Nükleer Güç Santrali’nin (NGS) ilk reaktörünün devreye alınmasına ilişkin, "Önümüzdeki yıl inşallah Cumhuriyetimizin 101'inci yılı, '29 Ekim 2024' diye bir tarih hedefimiz var." dedi. - Anadolu Ajansıwww.aa.com.tr
Scammed?So are we going to be scammed a second time with that Russian plant in Sinop like Akkuyu ? Or did we learn from our mistakes and made it to be more advantageous to us ?
We need to be driven by Facts and current Reality.Possible American nuclear tech back on the table?
The same logic must be applied to the Russian strategic technology.We need to be driven by Facts and current Reality.
I mean lets put usa as last option.
As we seen last 2 decades, when come to Turkiye matter, usa used all possible hostile actions against Turkiye.
I am talking about all fields:
-Historical (armenian lie)
-Social (fabricated and out of reality news campaign, planed campaign of pastor Andrew Brunson etc.)
-Economy ( Halk Bank case. Freezed Turkiye gold in usa and used by gov. as own),
-Militray (Offical passed by senat and signed by president document still in ACT embargo against persons, on parts, on programs, on science, on NATO meeting, on military drills etc.... Taking side with ruzzia in Syria, taking side of PKK, declared offical document of WAR etc.)
-A'Coup - partial or full support of a'coup (FETO main shits are in usa ).
-Ambassadors event - usa organized and managed west Ambassadors in Turkiye to sign a document and send it to Turkiye goverment, document have Ultimatum nature.
-Greece case - usa build up 6+ big base in Greece with main purpose against Turkiye (this was never done before). This include offical document including usa and france that they will be on Greece side on any case against Turkiye.
Basicaly - Facts are Fact - usa is hostile and as such Turkiye MUST NOT accept any contract with usa involved WHEN COME to STRATEGIC ASSET of Turkiye as Nuclear Plant
