AKKUYU.... Η 11η Τουρκική πυρηνική απειλή
Για 11η φορά η Τουρκία επανέρχεται στην κατασκευή όχι ενός, αλλά τεσσάρων πυρηνικών αντιδραστήρων στο Akkuyu απέναντι από την Κύπρο. Μετά από αλλεπάλληλες ματαιώσεις, οι προσπάθειες από το 1970 της Τουρκίας να αποκτήσει πυρηνική ενέργεια φαίνεται ότι πλησιάζουν το στόχο τους. Ήδη, η κατασκευή του πρώτου αντιδραστήρα βρίσκεται σε εξέλιξη.
Αυτή τη φορά η προσφορά και η χρηματοδότηση είναι Ρωσική (Rosatom) με κόστος ύψους 22 δισεκατομμυρίων περίπου ευρώ. Όμως, δεν είναι βέβαιο πως η εταιρεία θα μπορέσει να διαθέσει το τεράστιο αυτό ποσόν λόγω των κυρώσεων που έχουν επιβληθεί στη Ρωσία για την εισβολή της στην Ουκρανία.
Τα πυρηνικά απόβλητα του σταθμού θα αποθηκεύονται σε τουρκικό έδαφος, αλλά δεν είναι γνωστό που ακριβώς. Η Τουρκική κυβέρνηση επικαλείται το επιχείρημα της ενεργειακής έλλειψης της χώρας, αλλά δεν μιλάει για τη δυνατότητα απόκτηση της πρώτης ύλης κατασκευής πυρηνικών όπλων από την επεξεργασία των πυρηνικών αποβλήτων των αντιδραστήρων (πλουτώνιο-239). Μάλιστα, η Διεθνής Συνθήκη NPT, που έχει συνυπογράψει και η Τουρκία, ενώ απαγορεύει οι αντιδραστήρες παραγωγής ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας να χρησιμοποιούνται για πυρηνικά όπλα, αφήνει ένα ανοικτό παράθυρο χρήσης αυτής της δυνατότητας (Non Proliferation Treaty, παράγραφος 10).
