US lobby in Krško

New nuclear reactor could become a billion-dollar grave

After the referendum on a new nuclear reactor in Krško was canceled, the Slovenian government is sticking to its plans for a new reactor. Partly due to heavy lobbying from the USA. The project could bring Slovenia to the brink of financial collapse.

There was great relief among environmental organizations in Slovenia and the rest of Europe when the Slovenian parliament cancelled the referendum on a new nuclear reactor in Krško. But the joy was short-lived.
