Turkey preparing to take legal action against Armenian nuke plant
Turkey's Energy Minister Taner Yıldız has said he ordered the country's nuclear authority to measure radioactivity in the east after the deadly earthquake in Van province for fear of leaks from a nuclear plant in Armenia, Hürriyet Daily News
"I asked the Turkish Atomic Energy Authority to immediately conduct tests," Yıldız told a group of journalists in Ankara.
Turkey is preparing to take legal action against all superannuated nuclear power plants across the world, including the Metzamor-based Armenian nuclear power plant, the Turkish minister said.
"Some countries are announcing that they are putting an end to nuclear power and closing superannuated plants, but they are continuing to build new ones. This is not right," the Turkish official said without giving any names.
