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 new solidification technique using cement-glass, which is a mixture of sodium silicate and cement, was studied for solidification of sodium borate salt of liquid waste generated from pressurized water reactor plants. When the sodium borate salt was solidified with the cement-glass, the resulting package contained eight times more sodium borate than was found in cement because it did not interact with sodium borate. The leaching ratio of cesium ion from the cement-glass package was one-tenth that of cement. Its low leaching ratio was due to the high cesium adsorption ability of cement-glass. The ratio could be theoretically evaluated by considering the cesium adsorption-de-sorption equilibrium.
