Szijjarto advocates nuclear energy at Prague conference

Without the use of nuclear energy, Europe will not be able to achieve its objective of climate neutrality by 2050, Hungary's foreign minister said in Prague on Tuesday. The European Union must therefore end its practice of negative discrimination of nuclear energy, Peter Szijjarto told the 6th Central and Eastern Europe Nuclear Industry Congress. He said the EU must not only ensure uniform criteria, but even promote nuclear energy, and argued that nuclear power plants can produce electricity safely, in a "green", cheap and predictable way in the long term.
