Life on land

Human actions also affect the quality of life on land. Nuclear power plants play an important role in nature conservation efforts. They reduce global warming and weather extremes and maintain the health of ecosystems with low-carbon footprint.

In view of the amount of energy produced, NEK occupies an extremely limited space compared to other energy sources or technologies, thus allowing for the coexistence and development of other activities in the space.
