The Brussels press club event on Friday was told that while the new nuclear plants in Turkey and Belarus are well advanced “it is still not too late” to halt construction of the plant in Uzbekistan.
Paulus, speaking at “The new Chernobyls on Europe’s doorstep,” said she welcomed the chance to discuss “this important subject.”
The conference comes just ahead of the tenth anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear disaster on March 11, 2011. It is timely as Parliament also discussed the issue last week and is expected to approve a resolution on nuclear energy at its next plenary.
