| Sumario: | Energy resources play a very important role on today’s world. The main reason of the majority of wars and conflicts in the world is the struggle to have energy resources. It is not interesting that current and ongoing wars have been happening in the land of countries which have rich energy resources. It is a fact that energy policy plays an important way in not only developing countries but also in Turkey. Turkey’s energy demand has been increasingly growing as a result of rapid urbanization and industrialization process. Turkey’s energy policy, in particular nuclear energy policy has been discussed by both the public and the media. While one group claims that potential environmental effects of nuclear energy may threaten all human beings in the world, other group points out that nuclear energy is the only solution to growing demand for energy; and growing economies, such as China and United States, meet their energy demands with nuclear energy. However, these two opposite opinion ignores the probability of terrorist attacks to the nuclear power stations and its potential social, political economic impacts on the country. The main purpose of this research is to discuss security risks of potential terrorist attacks to the nuclear power stations which have been planned to built into Turkey. |
