Summary/Abstract: Nuclear energy plays an important role in Central and South-Eastern Europe. Nuclear power plants occupy an important place in the production of electricity, especially in those countries that have very small domestic deposits of energy resources (Slovakia and Hungary). They play a slightly lesser role in countries that have their own coal or gas resources (e.g. the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Romania). Regardless, the governments of all these countries are interested in increasing the share of nuclear energy in the national structure of energy production and consumption. // A number of nuclear projects are underway in the region. They concern both the modernization of existing power plants, preparations for the implementation of new projects, and the construction of new reactors. Works are the most advanced in Slovakia, where the construction of two nuclear units in Mochovce is being completed. The government in Bratislava is also considering the construction of one or two more nuclear units in Jaslovské Bohunice. In Hungary, the construction of new units at the Paks power plant is being prepared, in Romania - the construction of new units at the Cernavodă power plant, and in Bulgaria a new unit at Kozloduy. In the Czech Republic, a tender is planned for the construction of new nuclear units in Temelín and Dukovany.
