Nuclear power has always been a controversial issue. In the last 2 years since the INES 7 event (International Nuclear Event Scale) occured at the Fukushima 1 Nuclear Power Plant on 11 March 2011, the world's nuclear power-producing countries were in hot debate on whether to suspend their nuclear projects, while public opinion shifted steadily and swiftly in favor of renewable energy. Since that time, countries that have their houses' lit by nuclear electricity have decided to phase out nuclear power, and are trying to fill the resulting void with power from alternative sources. However, this trend has not necessarily hindered the sharing of nuclear know-how and technology by established users of nuclear power, and Turkey has been more than willing to absorb this knowledge.
