Responsible consumption and production

National regulatory bodies and international organisations (IAEA, WANO) strictly regulate and control all phases of construction, operation, and decommissioning of nuclear power plants. The high standards of the nuclear industry define our actions in all areas. Nuclear power plants consume small quantities of natural resources and water and have a small area footprint. While ensuring nuclear safety and the management of radioactive waste, impacts on the environment and the ecosystem are minimal.

Low-carbon footprint

Nuclear energy is improving carbon footprint of the Slovenian energy system

Quality of life and development

The operation of NEK generates less than one thousandth to the natural radiation in the environment

Low-carbon footprint

Use of energy contributes to more than 80% of total greenhouse gas emissions in Slovenia

In focus

Security of supply

In 2021, Slovenia again among the top twenty in the world on the Energy Trilemma Index

Low-carbon footprint

CO₂ emissions rise when NEK does not operate

Quality of life and development

Slovenia meets high nuclear safety standards

Production performance

Long-term operation of NEK means sustainable use of space – the existing facility on small NEK area produces large quantity of electrical energy

Low-carbon footprint

Carbon footprint of nuclear countries is significantly below the global average

Security of supply

Reliable supply of electrical energy is a requirement for normal functioning of a modern society

Economic performance

The cost of electrical energy produced by nuclear power plants is highly competitive when compared to other energy sources

Quality of life and development

Radiation is a natural phenomenon. What can NEK 0,11 μSv contribution be equivalent to when compared to annual natural radiation dose?

Ancillary services

Nuclear power plant is an important support point for the transmission network

Low-carbon footprint

Nuclear energy is among the most important low carbon energy sources for electrical energy production

Quality of life and development

Use of nuclear technology in agriculture and food industry

Quality of life and development

There is not a lot of nuclear waste in Slovenia
