INNOVATIVE DEPLOYMENT OF NUCLEAR ENERGY TO ENHANCE SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SUPPLY

Abstract

Further development of nuclear energy demands an innovative approach. Today electric energy is a main product of most nuclear power plants. However more than 60% of energy produced by NPP is dissipated as heat thrown together with water out into rivers or atmosphere. Production of heat energy on the basis of the nuclear one may become an alternative to the existing methods of atomic power use. Nuclear power plants will work as macro heat power plants thus globally positioning nuclear energy in capacity of the foundational source of clean energy, expanding fields of its use and giving it a higher social priority.
