from the University of the Aegean
Recently the Turkish Government announced its decision to construct two nuclear plants in the region of Akkuyu and Sinop, a decision which entails great risk for the broader Aegean region, taking into account the region’s seismicity and unique cultural features. A clear proof of the underlying risks involved in the use of nuclear energy is the recent accident in Fukushima, Japan.
The University of the Aegean, sharing the concerns of the residents of the area, where it has been founded and functions, is convinced that the use of nuclear energy has no place in a development with milder environmental characteristic for the societies in the Aegean region. For this reason, it has initiated a petition, aiming at the prevention of the construction of nuclear plants by highlighting the risks involved and by raising the awareness of the academic community, of all conscious citizens and organizations in Turkey, Greece and worldwide.
