We want nuclear power municipalities to become rich municipalities, says Minister of Climate and Environment Romina Pourmokhtari (L).

The election promise is similar to the one for wind power, where municipalities that give their approval receive money from the state.

"You should notice it locally where nuclear power is produced," she says.

Then L wants the state to guarantee the municipalities' costs for the construction of new reactors, such as infrastructure.

A third aspect of the upcoming nuclear power investments is the critical need for skills.

We want to build regional hubs in the nuclear power regions in collaboration with vocational schools, universities and these actors.
