  3. 1. Nuclear Power – Real Energy Alternative in XXI Century.

  4. Energy resource distribution. Industrial &Household Transportation Electricity and Heat (1830 Mtoe) (4500 mtoe ) (3800mtoe) 3700 мtoe 2400 мtoe 2200 мtoe 1100 мtoe 690 мtoe 300 мtoe Biomass& waste Coal Gas Renewable Nuclear Oil Structure of consumption primary energy resources(2005)

  5. Growth of global consumption of energy in 21 century. Рrincipal causes. • Growth of the population in the world. By modern estimations the population of the Earth to the middle of this century will increase approximately in 1,5 times (up to a level 10 billion person). Data about change of a population in the different countries and regions of the world <http: // www.census.gov/ipc/prod/wp02/>. • Technological rapproachement of the developed and developing countries. If there will be an alignment of specific consumption of energy in the developed and developing countries, on what the tendency of last years demand for power resources to 2050 can increase three times in comparison with a modern level specifies. Data about consumption and manufacture of primary energy sources (oil, gas, coal, electric power, full consumption of energy) in the different countries of the world since 1965 (<http: // www.bp.com/>, <http: // www.iea.org/>, <http: // www.eia.doe.gov/>).

  6. Distribution of energyconsumption in the world People distribution versus energy consumption level Alignment of energy consumption Primary energy recourses need Main problem – alignment of energy consumption

  7. The reasons for development of NP. • Rate of growth of consumption of organic fuel essentially surpasses speed of updating of its resource base. Therefore, it is quite probable, that to the middle of a current century it will be impossible to provide demand for energy due to traditional technologies of use of fossilresources of organic fuel. • Use of organic fossil fuel is carried out mainly by its burning that leads to huge quantityof annual harmful emissions in an atmosphere. Development of such negative large-scale ecological phenomena is connected with power on organic fuel, as «acidulation» deposits and "hotbed effect".

  8. Generally Hubert oil peak (maximum of production on given territory, including whole world) denotes that about one half of resources were already exhausted.

  9. IEA, Global Energy Outlook, 2003. Resources and consumption of oil and gas (contemporary estimation and increased resources, in 2 times) rate of commissioning of new resources or technologies is not acceptable for liberalized economy It can be expected that already in 10 years from now it will be necessary to consider NE as the necessary stabilizing factor of sustainable development of the whole power sector.

  10. Oil recovery (Go 453 bil. t) ( Go 800 bil. t) Млн. тонн Млн. тонн 152 billion tons have been already extracted from 164 billion tons of proven resources Gas recovery (Go 310 trill. cub. m) (Go 800 trill. cub. m) Млрд. м3 Млрд. м3 By now: 86 trill. m3extracted.Proven reserves=180 trill. cub. m.

  11. Primary energy demand

  12. World primary energy production

  13. Energy resources availability depending on their extraction cost Gas U-238 Coal Oil Fuel recourses, EJ Integral primary Energy consumption In the 21 century (medium scenarios) U-235 extraction cost, USD/GJ “?” What it is easier – to change economic way,or to create NP system adequate to principles of sustainable development,providing access to remote resources of poor quality – creation of NP system capable effectively to use uranium - 238 and thorium in the closed fuel cycle? 14

  14. Data on change of gross national product of the different countries since 1980 (http://www.imf.org , http://www.bp.com/statisticalreview ).

  15. Power safety of the modern world • Today all world has faced with serious power challenges. • Among them: • Exhaustion of power resources at the extremely non-uniform distribution; • Prompt growth of consumption of energy and accordingly, the increased power loading on the nature; • Significant growth of cost of all power resources, including uranium. • The concept of global steady development and restriction of influences of power on climatic changes becomes more and more dominating in the world. 2050/2007 Oil 0.9 times Gas1.1 times Coal 4 times Biomass3 times Hydro2 times Renewable 9 times NE3times

  18. Evolution of sights at developmentNE 2008-2010 (forecast) NP 2000GWto2050year 2005 NP 1000GWto 2050year 2000 NPis not necessary 38 mil. ton Unat 12.5 mil. ton Unat 3.6mil. ton Unat NP is very important for the world Such a scale demands the international cooperation, international plants of the fuel cycle Control extension opportunities NP almost in all countries It is not important of the world power It is practically impossible to supervise proliferation NP in a small number of countries It is not important for the world power It is difficult to supervise proliferation Nonproliferation

  19. Scenarios and ranges of projected installed nuclear capacity

  20. Consumption of natural uranium in XXI century for different scripts, millions tons 35 30 25 20 Red Book, 15 million tons (2005) 15 10 5 0 The forecast of 2000 The forecast of 2005 В2- 2000 GW 360GW 1000GW Open fuel cycle NP Frequency of YM building В2 –The "average" scriptIPCC (2000 )

  21. Problems of modern NP • Modern NP cannot be considered as basis of sustainable development for the following reasons: • Inefficient use of fuel (the effective resource is less, than at oil and gas); • Degradation of neutron potential (absence of breeding of nuclear fuel); • Accumulation of waste of proportionally made energy (there comes that moment when the tariff will not suffice for service of waste); • Limitation of scales, spheres and regions of use; • Increase of threat of uncontrollable use of nuclear materials.

  22. 2. Multi-component Innovative Nuclear System (INS) with Closed Nuclear Fuel Cycle (CNFC)

  23. A.P.Aleksandrov(А.П.Александров): «The future large scale NP should be capable (in sense of nuclear fuel) to sustainable development...with feeding in fuel cycle from the outside only not scarce U-238 ». « Nuclear power and its role in technical progress » - the General address read at opening of VII World power congress, 1968. «Будущая крупная атомная энергетика должна быть способной (в смысле ядерного топлива) к саморазвитию... с подачей в топливный цикл извне только недефицитного U–238». «Ядерная энергетика и ее роль в техническом прогрессе» - Генеральный адрес, зачитанный на открытии VII Мирового энергетического конгресса, 1968 г.

  24. Difference of neutron balance for Reactor and INS • The potential of neutron balance in a reactor at fissioning of uranium-235 and 233, plutonium 239, 241 is defined by size (--α. • The potential of neutron balance in system AE at use of all uranium-238 or thorium-232 is defined by size (--α-. Surplus of neutrons in a reactor allows to spend them for simplification of the decision of problems of convenience of operation, safety and economic efficiency. At the decision of a problem of reproduction of nuclear fuel the problem of realisation of the necessary neutron balance in system strongly becomes complicated.

  25. Surplus of neutrons at full "burning" various nuclides The balance of neutrons allows to solve problemsof supply of fuel and transmutation in structure of nuclear power
