Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive overview of Türkiye’s nuclear energy aspirations, focusing on the historical evolution, international cooperation, organizational structure, legal framework, and policy dimensions. It elaborates on Türkiye’s endeavours to integrate nuclear energy into its national power infrastructure, particularly highlighting the progress made in the development of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). Initiated in 1968, the Akkuyu NPP project remained stagnant for decades. It gained momentum in the late 2010s when Rosatom, under an agreement between the Turkish and Russian states, began construction as part of its nuclear export strategy. The article mainly discusses the significant legislative and regulatory advancements made post-2021, propelled by the near completion of the Akkuyu NPP. These actions signify a crucial phase in creating a robust legal framework for nuclear energy in Türkiye. Moreover, the article presents proposals for law and policy, considering geopolitical, economic, and technical constraints, to guide the future direction of Türkiye’s domestic nuclear energy programme. In conclusion, the evolution of nuclear energy law in Türkiye, highlighted by the development of the Akkuyu NPP and subsequent legal and regulatory measures, presents an essential case study.
土耳其的核能愿望:政策挑战与法律轨迹
本文全面概述了土耳其的核能愿望,重点关注历史演变、国际合作、组织结构、法律框架和政策层面。文章阐述了土耳其将核能纳入国家电力基础设施的努力,特别强调了在开发阿库尤核电站(NPP)方面取得的进展。阿库尤核电站项目于 1968 年启动,几十年来一直停滞不前。2010 年代末,根据土耳其与俄罗斯之间的协议,俄罗斯原子能公司开始建设该项目,作为其核出口战略的一部分。文章主要讨论了在阿库尤核电站即将完工的推动下,2021 年后在立法和监管方面取得的重大进展。这些行动标志着土耳其进入了为核能建立健全法律框架的关键阶段。此外,考虑到地缘政治、经济和技术限制因素,文章提出了法律和政策建议,以指导土耳其国内核能计划的未来方向。总之,以阿库尤核电厂的发展及随后的法律和监管措施为亮点,土耳其核能法律的演变提供了一个重要的案例研究。
