Turkey entered into a Strategic Civil Nuclear Cooperation Agreement with the United States during President Erdoğan’s visit to the White House. This agreement is designed to accelerate Turkey’s nuclear energy ambitions by focusing on both large-scale nuclear power plants and the integration of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). It complements Turkey’s ongoing Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant project developed with Russia, showing the country’s strategy to diversify partnerships in the nuclear sector. Through this collaboration, Turkey strengthens its position in the global energy landscape, enhances energy security, and moves closer to achieving its long-term sustainability and energy diversification goals.
