This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the suitability of nuclear power as an option to combat the escalating climate emergency. Summarizing and evaluating key arguments, we elucidate why nuclear power is unsuitable for addressing climate change. The primary argument centers around the unresolved technical and human risks of accidents and proliferation, which are unlikely to be effectively mitigated in the future. Furthermore, we highlight the significant cost disparities between nuclear power and other non-fossil energy sources, such as solar photovoltaics and wind power, considering levelized costs of electricity. We also address the incompatibility of nuclear power with renewable energy systems, emphasizing the need for flexibility in the face of variable solar and wind resources. Alternative reactor technologies will not be available in time to make a major contribution. Nuclear power also poses challenges in power plant operation amid climate change and war. Ultimately, we argue that other motivations should be explored to explain the continued interest in nuclear power in some countries, as energy supply arguments alone are insufficient to justify new investments.

“…Japonya insanlığın artan ortak enerji ihtiyacına cevap verme arayışında olan ve gelecek için uzun vadeli bir enerji kaynağının en çekici seçeneklerinden biri olarak görülen ITER (Uluslararası Termonükleer Deneysel Reaktör) projesine katılmış ve bu alanda da çalışmalar yürütmekte ve geliştirmektedir [16].…”

“…Yerli olarak inşa edilen ilk araştırma reaktörü JRR-3 (Japonya Araştırma Reaktörü No.3) olmuş ve nükleer teknoloji ve nötron bilimine katkılardan dolayı Amerikan Nükleer Topluluğu'nun Tarihi Dönüm Japonya'da nükleer enerjinin barışçıl kullanımı için radyasyon ve radyoizotop uygulamaları üzerine çeşitli Ar-Ge faaliyetleri yürütülmüştür. Radyasyon ve radyoizotoplar endüstri, tarım ve tıbbi tedavi gibi alanlarda yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır[16]. Japonya, enerji gereksiniminin %90'ından fazlasını ithalat yoluyla karşılamaktadır.…”

“…Japonya'nın ilk ticari nükleer enerji reaktörü Birleşik Krallık'tan ithal edilen 160 MWe gücünde gaz soğutmalı bir reaktör olan Tokai-No'dur. Reaktör 1966'da çalışmaya başlamış ve Mart 1998'e kadar çalışmaya devam etmiştir[16]. Daha sonra zenginleştirilmiş uranyum kullanan hafif su reaktörleri (PWR ve BWR) inşa edilmiştir.…”

“…Hitachi Co. Ltd., Toshiba Co. Ltd. ve Mitsubishi Heavy Industry Co. Ltd. gibi şirketler kendi LWR'lerini tasarlama ve inşa etme kapasitelerini geliştirmiştir[7]. Japon endüstrisi 1970'li yılların sonuna gelindiğinde büyük ölçüde kendi yerli nükleer enerji teknolojilerini geliştirmiştir ve bugün diğer ülkelere ihracat yapabilmektedir[16]. Ekim 2005'te Japonya Atom Enerjisi Ajansı (JAEA) kurulmuştur[20].…”

In order to ensure continuity in energy and to minimize foreign dependency, countries should be able to manage multiple energy sources as established systems. Since nuclear energy is a low-carbon energy source, it is considered as an energy type that has the potential to play a key role in combating the climate change problem of our age. Nuclear power plants are preferred by countries with their unique features such as being able to release a high amount of energy compared to the fuel they use, producing energy continuously without being affected by weather events, and predictability in electricity production costs. Turkey, Japan and South Korea have started attempts at approximately the same time to acquire nuclear power plant technology. Today, Japan and South Korea are two countries that carry out national and international projects in various fields with many nuclear power plants established and their own designs under development. For Turkey, the process has not progressed in the same way and the construction of the first power plant has been delayed until today. In this study, the operational processes of these three countries, whose processes of obtaining nuclear power plant technology have started close to each other, are discussed in a chronological order and the steps taken over time are compared. The current situation for Turkey has been evaluated and suggestions for the future have been given.
