Foreign direct investment (FDI) by entities controlled by foreign governments (especially state-owned enterprises) is a new global phenomenon that is most often linked to the rise of emerging markets such as China and Russia. Host governments have struggled to properly react to this type of investment activity especially in key strategic sectors and critical infrastructure that ultimately raise questions of national security. Academic research on sovereign investment as a factor contributing to the new global protectionist trend is very limited, and predominantly focused on sovereign investors from China. This study explores the specifics of Russian sovereign investment in the former Soviet Bloc countries, now members of the European Union, especially in strategic sectors such as energy. We use the case of Bulgaria’s nuclear energy sector and the involvement of Russia’s state-owned company Rosatom in the halted Belene nuclear power plant project to analyze the dynamics of policy and politics, political-economic ideologies and historical legacies in the formation of national stances towards Russia as a sovereign investor. Our research contributes to the emerging literature on FDI protectionism and sovereign investment by emphasizing the significance of political-ideological divides and the heritage of the past as determinants of sovereign investment protectionism.

The development of solar power technologies is considered to be the key solutions for fulfilling ever increasing worldwide demand for energy. This paper reflects the nature, characteristics, similarities, and differences between nuclear and solar energies. It also discusses their technologies, their impact on different aspects of life and public attitudes about them. Generally, nuclear energy is considered to be destroyed due to uncontrollable chemical reactions associated with harvesting of nuclear energy. Energy requirement of the world is increasing day by day, and using conventional methods to fulfil this requirement might cause devastating effects on atmosphere due to an emission of different harmful by-products released. In this paper, alternate methods of producing energy are discussed and a detailed analysis of its environmental effects, sustainability and cost have been discussed.

During the second term of his administration, President Joko Widodo is planning to launch the Omnibus Law as solution to revise hundreds of conflicting articles in numerous existing laws and regulations simultaneously, not only at the central government level but also at the regional levels. This is a good opportunity for the Indonesian nuclear community to rearrange its nuclear energy regime, which can be seen, especially in the field of the energy sector, does not make significant progress. In the upcoming policy, more parties must be involved in the utilization of nuclear energy, especially in terms of financing and investment, for benefits to the greatest prosperity of the Indonesian people.

The states Nuclear Program is a program to build and utilize nuclear science and technology both in the non-energy sector and in the energy sector for peaceful purposes. Utilization of non-energy in Indonesia has developed quite advanced. The use of nuclear power in every countries covers various fields such as health, research and industry. Indonesia's readiness in implementing nuclear energy is carried out by ratifying international conventions, issuing laws, and issuing regulations from the Nuclear Energy Supervisory Agency, readiness in the field of infrastructure used to strengthen technology, and in Indonesia is committed to reducing 26% of greenhouse gas emissions in the year 2020. A nuclear power plant or nuclear power plant is a thermal power plant that uses one or more nuclear reactors as a heat source. The working principle of a nuclear power plant is almost the same as a steam power plant, using high pressure steam to turn a turbine. The rotation of the turbine is converted into electrical energy. The difference is the heat source used to generate heat. A nuclear power plant uses uranium as its heat source. The fission reaction (fission) of the uranium nucleus produces enormous heat energy. The power of a nuclear power plant ranges from 40 MWe to 2000 MWe, and a nuclear power plant built in 2005 has a power distribution from 600 MWe to 1200 MWe. As of 2015 there are 437 nuclear power plants operating in the world, which in total generate about 1/6 of the world's electrical energy. To date, around 66 nuclear power plants are being built in various countries, including China with 28 units, Russia with 11 units, India with 7 units, the United Arab Emirates with 4 units, South Korea with 4 units, Pakistan and Taiwan with 2 units each. Nuclear power plants are categorized based on the type of reactor used. However, in some plants that have several separate reactor units, it is possible to use reactor types that are fueled such as Uranium and Plutonium.
