Map of Slovak Nuclear Sites
Slovakia relies heavily on nuclear power, which accounts for over 50% of its electricity production. The country operates four nuclear reactors at two plants: Mochovce and Bohunice. Slovakia is committed to maintaining a stable and low-carbon energy supply, with nuclear power playing a crucial role in meeting its energy needs and environmental goals. Efforts to expand nuclear capacity include the ongoing development of additional reactors at the Mochovce plant. While nuclear energy significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions, Slovakia continues to focus on enhancing nuclear safety and managing radioactive waste responsibly, reflecting its dedication to sustainable energy solutions. Find out where the country’s nuclear sites are located, and what goes on at each of them, on our interactive map of Slovak nuclear sites.
