"Thank you for your reply. I should like to make the following points: Turkey is now a candidate country. This plan is designed to increase its energy potential by 2%. At the same time, it also wishes to acquire Cadou type reactors from Canada, which we now know have already been used for nuclear weapons in Pakistan and India. In this sense, there is therefore a serious risk that some idiot will decide that the new geopolitical balance of power in the Caucasus calls for a nearby country with weapons grade nuclear technology. So much for the political aspect. Now to the technical aspect. The safety factor in this type of project, and I am speaking as an engineer, has nothing to do with increasing safety levels in relation to the risk of collapse by a factor of ten or twenty. In cases such as this, where there is uncertainty, simulators are used. However, we cannot used simulators in cases relating to nuclear energy. In this sense, all high seismic risk areas must be excluded a priori for nuclear installations such as this. Therefore, and given that the relationship between the European Union and the Commission and Turkey has now changed, it would be a good idea if Turkey discussed certain matters relating both to the safety of the area in general and the peaceful development of Turkey within the European Union."@en1
