Balkan countries and Ukraine are making “substantial investments” in polluting coal power stations to sell cheap electricity to the European Union, as the bloc searches for new suppliers to reduce its dependence on Russian gas. EU officials appear reluctant to use energy negotiations next month, or trade law, to force higher air pollution and environmental standards, despite the risks the rush poses to EU climate change and enlargement policies, and to finances and public health in the Balkans.

Государственная инспекция ядерного регулирования не продлила лицензию для второго энергоблока Южно-Украинской АЭС, ссылаясь на его несоответствие требованиям ядерной безопасности. Однако оператор АЭС «Энергоатом» планирует устранить несколько десятков замечаний уже к декабрю этого года, что вызвало обеспокоенность экспертов. Об этом говорится в постановлении Коллегии Госатомрегулирования от 30 апреля 2015 года.

Pe 26 aprilie 1986 avea aloc primul si, pana in prezent, cel mai grav accident nuclear din istorie. Astazi, Cernobil e un punct important pe harta turismului in zone devastate. Ucrainenii nu au timp sau dispozitie sa se gandeasca la tragedia din urma cu aproape trei decenii. Strainii vin, privesc si pleaca. Poate ca evolutia e normala dupa atata timp, dar ea ascunde pericolul uitarii si un fals sentiment de siguranta.
