Slovak Government Reports Nuclear Power Plants Safe After 190 Inspections in 2024

The Slovak government declared the country's nuclear power plants safe following comprehensive oversight activities conducted throughout 2024. The Nuclear Regulatory Authority of Slovakia (ÚJD), the state agency responsible for nuclear safety oversight, carried out 190 planned and unplanned inspections at nuclear facilities during the year and issued 578 regulatory decisions. Slovakia operates two nuclear power plants - Jaslovské Bohunice and Mochovce - which together provide roughly half of the country's electricity supply. The inspections are part of regular safety monitoring to ensure compliance with international nuclear safety standards, as nuclear energy remains a critical component of Slovakia's energy infrastructure and independence strategy.
