An interactive quiz including questions about nuclear energy and environmental awareness was held at the stand, especially for children and young people. In the quiz, questions were asked by the rare Caretta Caretta sea turtle animation character, which AKKUYU NÜKLEER A.Ş plays an active role in its protection. Prizes were presented to the winners by getting the most points in the quiz show.
In another part of the booth, young experts from AKKUYU NÜKLEER A.Ş. explained the personnel training program of Akkuyu NPP, their working experience at the NPP site and the contribution of nuclear energy to Turkey's technological development.
