NUCLEAR POWER AS A COMPONENT OF INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT IN A GLOBALIZED WORLD ECONOMY

摘要

It is shown that it is not so much the internal problems as the macroeconomic situation that has a decisive effect on nuclear power in different countries. Analysis performed in the international project INPRO under the auspices of IAEA shows that many developing countries have big plans for growing nuclear capacities and they hope to expand the market for services in the nuclear-power sphere. The potential accumulated in Russia in technologies of sodium-cooled fast reactors with mixed uranium-plutonium oxide fuel should be used to solve the internal problems of the nuclear industry and to expand the package of services at the closing stage of the NFC when selling domestically produced reactors.
