Half A Century Journey of Türkiye for Nuclear Power Plant - with Recent Developments and Frequently Asked Questions

Türkiye started to put the construction of a nuclear power plant on its agenda dating from 1965. Between 1977 and 2008, nuclear power plant tenders held at four different times failed. The first nuclear power plant agreement was finally signed in 2010. This was a historical turning point, breaking the vicious circle.
Why could Türkiye not launch nuclear power plant projects for half a century? Why did the tenders held remain at the level of initiative? While the countries with which Türkiye started its nuclear power plant journey have begun to export nuclear power plant technology, why is Türkiye late in this regard?

What was explained to the audience in the nuclear documentaries broadcast for the first time in Türkiye?
