It doesn’t work like that,” he remarked, explaining his safety concerns.Slovakia operates five nuclear reactors and is constructing a sixth at the Mochovce Nuclear Power Plant. Nuclear power currently supplies around 60% of the nation’s electricity and is essential to its industrial ambitions, including the development of large data centers, Fico noted.The prime minister also announced plans for an additional reactor at the Bohunice Nuclear Power Plant, a project involving an American contractor and potential participation from other nations through a consortium. He pointed out that the US <a href="https://www.rt.com/news/625725-russia-top-us-nuclear-supplier/" target="_blank">continues</a> to purchase Russian uranium.A frequent critic of Brussels, Fico argued that the EU’s economic plans, such as the 2000 Lisbon Strategy, have repeatedly fallen short of their promises.Unless the bloc abandons its ideological approach to energy and economic policy, he warned, European nations will lose their competitiveness on the global stage.</blockquote>
