Ukraine war stokes concerns over Turkey’s nuclear plant

A girl with an anti-nuclear sticker on a mask is seen during a demonstration as Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot activists voice their unease over the ongoing construction of the Russian-owned Akkuyu nuclear power plant in southern Turkey, some 60 miles (100 km) from the island nation's northern coastline, inside the United Nations controlled buffer zone that cuts across the capital Nicosia, Cyprus, on Wednesday, April 27, 2022. Activists say uncertainty over the safety of war-wracked Ukraine's nuclear power plants has re-ignited concerns over a Russian-owned nuclear power plant that's currently being built in a quake-prone area on Turkey's southern coastline.
