Turkey has started the countdown for the nuclear central. However this
has also started some discussions. Quake experts are worried about Akkuyu.

       Prof.Dr. Jean Pierre Bardet who attended the international earthquake
       conference said the depth and the activities of the fault line needs to be
       measured for the nuclear central planned to be made in Akkuyu. Bardet who is
       the founder of an important laboratory in California that works on dynamics
       of the earth's ground said the following about the industrial structural
       work at the fault line:
       " I oppose that an industrial structure is being constructed close to a
       fault line. It can be done only if the fault line is not very big and when
       the conditions force you to. Establishing a nuclear central needs extra
       carefullness. The building should be a lot stronger. Such a structure
       on a fault line has a lot of risks. If it really needs to be built, then the
       depth of the fault line needs to be measured beforehand. However I am still
       strongly against the doing of this."
