Abstract

The dependence on the energy and its use has increased in every country due to the increasing population and advanced technology. As a result of it, the reserves of fossil fuel have decreased, several energy crises have occurred from time to time and the alternative energy sources have been on the focus. One of these alternative energy sources is nuclear energy. The nuclear power plants, which were built in order to get nuclear energy, have attracted the attention thanks to some disadvantages such as its high cost and emission of radiation while they do not radiate harmful gases towards environment. The nuclear power plants that have already been and are planned to be constructed by a number of countries have become problematic because of the power plant accidents. On one hand, some countries have abandoned the nuclear power plants owing to the accidents mentioned above, on the other hand some other countries have continued to operate the nuclear power plants by claiming the necessity to meet the increasing demand on energy. It is seen that conflicts and problems experienced in the geography in which Turkey is located impacts the energy security of Turkey and it is understood that this situation may have a negative influence on national security of Turkey. Because of all these reasons, actualizing nuclear energy projects are important for Turkey which is dependent in respect of energy.

Summary

Introduction

Being addicted to gasoline and gas makes the world research energy strategies. Because of the energy crisis countries aim to evaluate energy gender and conflict energy sector, use alternative energy source [1]. Countries started to find nuclear energy solutions due to energy issues [1]. Nuclear energy is a tool which most of the countries can use to get outmaneuvering against of each other. The main reason of this is that nuclear energy has a potential to affect development of countries by providing economic and fiscal returns [3]. National development and industries based on energy and new energy sources (nuclear energy) is important beside traditional and local energy sources in countries national plans and programs [1]. Nuclear energy is very important since it provides about 17% of the electric energy in the world and is used in industry and medical area [4]. Turkey has started discussion about nuclear energy in 1960’s.
