Investigation into the Current State of Nuclear Energy and Nuclear Waste Management—A State-of-the-Art Review

Abstract: Nuclear power can replace fossil fuels and will have a decisive impact on the change in the approach to conventional energy. However, nuclear (or radioactive) wastes are produced by the operation of the nuclear reactors should be safely and properly disposed of. This paper assesses the uranium resources and the global state of nuclear power plants and determines the energy mixes in different countries using the most nuclear energy. Furthermore, this paper analysed the nuclear waste management and disposal and … Show more

“…For this reason, heat dissipation is an important issue to be considered during the design of a repository for this kind of waste. Nowadays, the production of HLW is extremely alarming, since it is estimated that each nuclear reactor (approximately 440 operational worldwide) produces around 30 tons per year ( Gerstner, 2009 ; IAEA, 2009b ; Rosa et al, 2010 ; Alwaeli and Mannheim, 2022 ).…”

“…Nükleer enerji, iklim değişikliği ile mücadelede ve düşük karbonlu bir enerji ekonomisine geçişte önemli bir role sahiptir [1]. Nükleer enerjinin yakın zamanda fosil yakıtların yerini alarak geleneksel yaşamda belirgin bir değişikliğe neden olacağı düşünülmektedir [2]. Birçok araştırmaya göre, son yirmi yılda dünyanın enerji ihtiyacının % 11-20'si nükleer enerji ile karşılanmıştır [2][3][4][5].…”

Birçok araştırmaya göre, son yirmi yılda dünyanın enerji ihtiyacının % 11-20'si nükleer enerji ile karşılanmıştır [2][3][4][5]. Kömür, petrol ve doğal gaz kullanan enerji santrallerinin sayısının artmasıyla 2050 yılına kadar karbon emisyonlarının %80 veya daha fazla azaltılması mümkün olmayacaktır [2].…”
