“…In addition to that, Poinssot, Bourg, and Boullis (2016) added as nuclear fuel cycle has a role for decreasing GHG emission rate and rising economic sustainability. According to the Gralla et al (2016) stated that nuclear waste management, risk and social aspects were mentioned lower than economy, governments, and environment for nuclear energy sustainability discussion. Huhtala and Remes (2017) said that nuclear power support rate will fall down when perceived risk rate on people rises that lead to nuclear reactor accidents.…”

Nuclear energy investments are important for the social and economic development of countries. Thanks to these investments, no carbon gas is released into the atmosphere while providing energy. This situation prevents the environmental pollution problem. On the other hand, nuclear energy contributes to countries to obtain uninterrupted electricity. However, the installation of nuclear power plants is now difficult. A serious technological infrastructure is required to build these facilities. This situation is especially important for countries that do not yet have nuclear power plants. In order to increase the use of nuclear energy in these countries, support from nuclear energy companies is required. However, nuclear energy investors may not want to invest in every country. In this study, the factors that affect the investment decisions of nuclear energy investors are analyzed. In this framework, a detailed literature analysis was performed, and 4 different criteria were determined. An analysis was carried out using the Entropy method to determine the most important factor among these factors. According to the results of the analysis, it is determined that the socio-political factors in the country have the most importance in the decisions of nuclear energy investors. Considering these issues, it is understood that countries should pay attention to public acceptance to attract the attention of nuclear energy investors.

“…While recognizing the important and growing role of local actors in the development of renewable energies and the construction of a more sustainable energy future, a third body of literature underlines that sustainability construction is influenced by politics and political processes [36] within varied arenas from institutional to local debates about concrete projects. Beyond its vague initial definition, sustainability does not refer to a fixed set of norms [37]; it is not defined nor framed the same way in national strategies, and dedicated policies may not focus on the same aspects, be they environmental, governmental, economic, or social aspects [38]. Along institutional debates about the definition of what sustainability should be, experiments involving new multilevel models of energy governance adapted to the development of renewable energies remain highly uncertain and face political and contingent barriers [39].…”

“…Renewable and nuclear energy investments are expected to reach approximately 110 billion US dollars or approximately 90% of Turkey's estimated energy expenditure by 2023 (Melikoglu, 2016). Nuclear energy is used or planned in 40 countries around the world, but the contribution of nuclear energy to sustainable development remains a contentious area (Gralla et al, 2016). Nuclear and non-nuclear countries showed higher levels of carbon emissions and household consumption compared to countries that plan to use nuclear energy and do not use nuclear energy (Gralla et al, 2017).…”

The progress of technology, the increase of the population, increases the speed of energy demand, which is the thought of man to dominate the world. Every energy-generating species has a certain negative effect on the environment. Considering the conservation objective of nature, the Five-Year Development Plan of Turkey consists of the measures are to be taken to develop, disseminate, and take up the greater proportion of consumption in new and renewable energy sources. In order not to face serious problems, it is necessary to give importance to source diversity as soon as possible and to allocate sufficient resources for Research and Development studies to be encouraged to diversify resources, to accelerate the use of alternative energy sources, to encourage such studies. Efforts should be made to efficiently utilize the domestic resource potential in order to lower the percentage of external dependency in the use of energy resources, such activities should be supported, incentives should be given and storage opportunities should be increased. Considering the energy requirement, it is of great importance to prioritize the construction of renewable, nuclear and hydropower facilities in the direction of conservation-use balance, with the aim of not to enter the energy shortage and to minimize natural environmental destruction in the following years. Energy agriculture is an issue that has never been touched. Energy plants in our country should be started with C4 type plants. This study gives answers to what should be the possible energy policy that aims to combine environmental protection and uninterruptible power.
