GEN Energija, Slovenia’s Ministry of Economy, recently received an application from Slovenia’s Krsko nuclear power plant seeking for the approval of a second reactor which is supported by technical studies as well as analysis. The supporting studies show that it is justified to proceed with the construction based on the country’s energy, economic as well as environmental views. The said application would supply enough energy, plus reliable and safe supply with competitive and long-term predictable value. What’s good also about this second reactor is that it has no virtually greenhouse gas emissions.

Just like other countries, the Slovenian government’s permission must be sought before any power facility can begin any sitting procedures particularly with a generating capacity of more than 1 MWe. Like what Slovenia’s Krsko nuclear power plant did, an application must be submitted to the minister of economy and it has to provide the information on the type and size of the proposed plant, conditions for the supply of energy from the plant, as well as plans for its decommissioning at the end of its operating life. Luckily, the said application was formally verified by GEN Energija as well as stated that the Krsko nuclear power plant second reaction is in line with Slovenia’s energy policy.

This said plan also requires a new reactor to be built at the same plant with about 1000 MWe capacity. When approval is verified, a detailed plan should be initiated which is expected to happen later this year. It is estimated to be completed within 2020 and 2025 with an estimated cost of €5 billion ($7 billion).
