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 computer program is developed to simulate the fluid and thermal mixing of the Electric Power Research Institute/Creare one-fifth-scale tests. The mass-flow-weighted skew-upwind differencing scheme (SUDS), as well as the upwind differencing scheme, and the k-∈ two-equation model of turbulence in cylindrical coordinates are employed in the numerical simulation. The computational results are compared with experimental data of test numbers 42, 46, and 51 and COMMIX results. The numerical diffusion is significantly reduced by SUDS, and a satisfactory prediction is achieved.
