Scientists raise alarm over Turkish nuclear reactors

A team of Greek scientists have called on the government, the European Union, the International Atomic Energy Agency, NATO and other international organizations to take measures that will halt the creation of nuclear power facilities in the seismically active region of Akkuyu in neighboring Turkey.

The 18 scientists made their appeal in a letter against the backdrop of an agreement struck by Moscow and Ankara for the installation of four nuclear reactors in Turkey.

Listing a series of possible consequences, the scientists raised the alarm, saying that "Turkey plans to obtain 10 nuclear reactors by 2030."
