Turkey's plans to build a coastal nuclear power plant close to an earthquake-prone area were strongly protested by Greece and Cyprus at a European Union summit on nuclear energy in Brussels this week, at which the 27-nation bloc agreed to a safety review of its 143 reactors. Turkey is standing firmly by plans to build three nuclear power plants in the years ahead—including one at Akkuyu on the Mediterranean coast, close to the Ecemis Fault, which an expert says could possibly generate a magnitude-7 quake. 'Nuclear power for us is not an option because we are in a highly seismically active region,' Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou said in Brussels."
