The article addresses the renewed interest in nuclear energy within the European Union, particularly following a summit in Paris that deemed Europe's previous disengagement from nuclear power as a strategic mistake. Several experts, including Professor Davor Grgić and State Secretary Vedran Špehar, discussed Croatia's capacity and options regarding nuclear energy during the show 'Otvoreno'. They indicated that growing global tensions have shifted the conversation towards a more balanced view of nuclear energy as part of the energy transition solution.

Professor Grgić articulated the need for comprehensive dialogues about nuclear options, given that nuclear power could significantly contribute to energy transition goals. He emphasized that securing financial resources remains a critical challenge for initiating nuclear energy projects, primarily due to the substantial capital investment required at the outset. The commentary underlines that technical expertise and planning will be essential for any advancements in this area, presenting a mixed picture of opportunities and obstacles for Croatia's nuclear aspirations.

Finally, the discussions also hinted at a broader theme reflecting among EU nations regarding the future of energy production. The notion that nuclear energy should not be dismissed as an option is gaining traction as countries look to diversify their energy sources amidst geopolitical uncertainties. This signals a possible shift in energy policy where nuclear energy may still play a vital role in achieving both energy security and sustainability.
