Photo taken on August 16, 2024, shows the control room of the former Yugoslav era research nuclear reactor at Serbia's Vinca nuclear facility near capital Belgrade. Time continues to stand still at Serbia's Vinca nuclear facility, where a decommissioned Yugoslav-era reactor stands as a potent symbol of the fear the controversial energy source produced. For decades, the research reactor and the surrounding facility have been stuck in another era. But a new push to revitalise Serbia's stalled nuclear energy sector may see the country embrace the technology again. Three years after the 1986 Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine, then Yugoslavia shuttered its nuclear programme and shut down its lone reactor in Belgrade's suburbs.
