Özet:

In recent years, as a result of growing technological developments (in health care, military, etc.) conventional energy sources are draining therefore the demand for new energy sources raises day by day. Particularly, countries those have limited conventional energy sources have started using nuclear energy to prevent future energy problems. Turkey is a foreign dependent country because of insufficient energy production. Especially in recent years, the need for renewable energy sources has been increasing day by day. In this respect, the importance of nuclear energy and the establishment of nuclear power plants for its production will greatly reduce the foreign dependency. Establishment of nuclear power plants will affect many sectors like electricity, health, agriculture, military, etc., directly and indirectly. As a result, a greater contribution will occur in economy and jobs in Turkey. In this study, a literature research is performed about the necessity of nuclear energy and the establishment of nuclear power plants in Turkey. Also, it is aimed to light the way to other researchers who will work on this subject.
