Serbian officials lay out nuclear energy timeline
Serbia reached a significant milestone in 2024 when its National Assembly overturned a moratorium on nuclear power plants that had been in place for 35 years, a ban imposed when the country was part of the former Yugoslavia.
Fast forward to 2026 and the European country’s nuclear energy ambitions have become clearer. On July 13, Serbia’s Ministry of Mining and Energy held a four-day workshop outlining the country’s plans to kickstart a nuclear program.

A brief survey of the safety analyses procedure for the operational and post-operational phase of the planned German “Konrad” repository is given. The geological formation that is planned only for the disposal of radioactive waste with negligible heat production is an iron ore bed. In the framework of the safety analyses, waste acceptance criteria are derived. These criteria concern the waste form, the waste packaging, and the radionuclide inventory. The potential radiation exposure during the operational and postoperational phase is given.
