Creators

Description

Europe is similar to an aristocratic family, with centuries of shared history, but when it comes to the nuclear issue, we are divided: 14 members are for nuclear energy, 14 are against, and the European Commission is somewhere in-between." So said Jean-Pol Poncelet, Director General of Foratom, during his visit to the Mochovce NPP at the celebration of 90 reactor-years. Currently 131 reactors are in operation on the European continent; they produce 27 per cent of the electricity in the European Union, and create 53 per cent of its carbon free energy.
