Turkey nuke plant to last 100 years: Russia

Turkey's first nuclear power plant to be built on the country's southern coast will connect Turkey and Russia for at least 100 years, said the plant's Russian builder, Rosatom.

"We are giving 60 years of guarantee for the Akkuyu nuclear plant, but I'm sure that it will have a lifespan of 80-100 years," said Rosatom CEO Sergei Kirienko.
