A Westinghouse nuclear plant grinds to meet 41 percent of electricity needs slovenia needs by 14 billion kilowatt hours, the weight of the nation's feed through the economy. In fact, Slovenia makes so much power to sell 6 billion kilowatt hours to neighbors. According to CIA statistics Slovenia is a country that has a per capita income of the middle of the largest in Europe.
6. Sweden
Forty-two percent of the Swedish electricity comes from nuclear energy.
In 1980, ranging from the political impact of the Three Mile Island chose to dismiss the existing reactors. But to deny Sweden in 2009, shocked the world by announcing plans to increase nuclear capacity. this raises concerns in the world of global security and stability.

5. Ukraine
Chernobyl country under a cloud, the United Nations said hundreds of times publish Hiroshima and Nagasaki fallout over Europe and North America, Ukraine radiation leak-prone nuclear reactor, nuclear reactors provide 47 percent of the country's electricity needs of 182 billion kilowatt / hour.
What makes Ukrainian interested about atomic power? A climate woes, and as a former Russian state, which threatened to turn off the natural gas tap every winter. But who needs the uranium parent if you have got yourself? According to the WNA, Ukraine will explore all the uranium is needed in 2013.

4. Belgium
Fifty-four percent of the Belgian electricity is nuclear, although Belgium has seven reactors.In 1999, Belgium announced a 40-year phase-out of nuclear program is only to revive it in 2000. Another Nuke-free resolution came in 2003, but in 2007 Belgian once again cozying up to the nuclear reactor, and according to NEA, reviving a long-term plan for nuclear energy production.
According to Commission Belgian Energy, shut off the reactor would double electric bills Belgium, worsened by greenhouse gas emissions, and to deepen the dependence of the energy resources.

3. Slovakia
56 percent, the state's share of nuclear electricity generated enormous. And Slovakia is a country that enthusiastically add two reactors of the five existing reactors. (A refueling fatal accident in 1977 left the factory sixth can not be used.)
Worried about the safety of Soviet-era nuclear Slovakia, the European Union demanded the closure of the two oldest reactors in Slovakia. despite the fact that the Slovaks spent U.S. $ 300 million to upgrade the reactor. Slovakia who upset obeyed, but the public support every decision.
Since 1986 Slovakia has been pumped with radioactive waste to be "temporary" storage pool, according to WNA. Choice of site for a permanent waste repository remote "ongoing, admittedly a difficult task for a country to develop a nuclear repository at large.

2. Lithuania
Flat, cloudy, broke and sadly dependent on Russian natural gas, Lithuania has a death-grip on the sole reactor, Ignalina. After the reactor site, aging Ignalina still supplies 72 percent of the electricity Lithuania. But in 2009, Ignalina will go dark. According to the Nuclear Energy Agency of the nation, Lithuania's Chernobyl-style animal EU nightmare.
1. France
In search of Faust nuclear energy, France tops the list of countries most dependent on nuclear power. A small atom infrastructure capable of powering 76 percent of the lights in the city, and allow France to watch the drama of the upper balcony.
Since most of the hydropower generating electricity, the remaining 24 percent of the power solar power France, the French have clean power, at least in terms of carbon emissions.
Waste that can not be recycled at recycling languishes at the nuclear plant in Normandy, so France an exemplary country that is able to exploit its full potential of nuclear energy.
