They actually have the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant but I think it is not completed yet. However it was very close to the areas affected.

OMG! If something is a bad idea, Russia is not far away:

"In May 2010, Russia and Turkey signed an agreement that a subsidiary of Rosatom would build, own, and operate a power plant at Akkuyu comprising four 1,200 MWe VVER1200 units." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akkuyu_Nuclear_Power_Plant)
