Nuclear Newcomer Turkey and 'Comeback Kid' Japan Show the Way Ahead

Around 20 years ago there was one story that cropped up again and again: "Forget that - it will never happen, they've been talking about it for years." The subject was Turkey and its desire to build the country's first nuclear power plant. But today, first safety-related concrete was poured and finally marked the start of construction of Turkey's first nuclear power plant in Akkuyu, with four units planned. There was progress too on the international nuclear front from Japan, where KEPCO confirmed the restart of the third unit of its Ohi nuclear power plant.
