Serbia announced the start of developing a national nuclear program!
Minister of Mining and Energy of Serbia, Hantano维奇, announced during a meeting with representatives of the "Vinca" Nuclear Science Institute that Serbia has begun preparing for a national nuclear program for peaceful purposes.
"The amendment to the Energy Law opens up the possibility of peaceful use of nuclear energy, because we must consider the future of energy security strategically, and without strengthening the human resources base, this is impossible. We have a good foundation, but we want to further strengthen it. We have recognized the 'Vinca' Institute as part of the foundation for establishing our nuclear program. The Ministry of Mining and Energy, as the agency representing the government in managing the nuclear program, is working on establishing a specialized department for nuclear energy."
Hantano维奇 stated that preliminary technical research on the peaceful use of nuclear energy in Serbia has been completed, which is the first step in developing the nuclear program and will demonstrate possible market and technical options. After that, further decisions will be made. Previously, Russia's state atomic energy company demonstrated modern technologies in the field of nuclear energy to Serbia and expressed willingness to provide a wide range of solutions to enhance Serbia's energy independence. Russia is willing to help Serbia build a compact nuclear power plant based on the RITM-200 reactor and 3+ generation high-power power units. "Nuclear energy has been included in the official agenda of relations between Russia and Serbia."
