Croatia has set a target of producing 30% of its electricity demand from nuclear sources by 2040 under a new draft law covering the development of nuclear energy in the country.

The draft law also stated that within six months an “activity programme” would be developed covering all necessary studies and analyses, and a year later a Plan for the Development of Nuclear Energy for Civilian Purposes would be presented.

A separate law would then be enacted deciding the final location of any potential nuclear power plant once all regulatory procedures had been carried out.
