MERSIN -- A delegation from Indonesia's nuclear energy agency paid a visit to site of Turkey's first nuclear power plant in southern province of Mersin.

The delegation headed by Yarianto Budi Susilo, chairman of the Indonesia's National Nuclear Energy Agency, visited the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant site as part of Indonesia's own program to build their first nuke plant.
