Croatia and Slovenia: Nuclear power plant Krsko- location for Radioactive Waste Management Centre

, News

The former Čerkezovac barracks at Trgovska Gora in the municipality of Dvor on the left bank of the River Una will become Radioactive Waste Management Centre for NPP Krsko. The use of former Čerkezovac barracks for establishment of a Radioactive Waste Disposal Centre is approved by the Energy and Environment Ministry.

The Zagreb-based Fund says in its press release that during the implementation of the project it would permanently cooperate with the local community and the general public as well as with stakeholders across the border, that is nearby municipalities in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Bosnia and Herzegovina municipalities that are located on the border with Croatia and gravitate towards the River Una fear that radioactive waste from Trgovska Gora would pollute the environment on both sides of the border and harm the health of local residents.

Establishing the centre, Croatia will manage the radioactive waste in a safe, systematic and tested way, said the fund.

The Krško nuclear power plant is jointly owned by Croatia and Slovenia and is located in the Slovenian town of Krško.

Croatia’s national programme for the implementation of a strategy for the management of radioactive waste has been submitted to the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM), which is expected to evaluate it, and Bosnia and Herzegovina is seeking guarantees that the programme will not have a negative impact on the country.
