Youths Interests in the Biosphere and Sensitivity to Nuclear Power Technology in the UAE: With Discussions on Open Innovation and Technological Convergence in Energy and Water Sectors
Abstract:Nuclear power technology (NPT) perception and acceptance have globally emerged as the most critical questions for the successful integration of NPT into any national energy mix. In its combination with seawater desalination, NPT provides a sustainable alternative for the security and economic efficiency of both energy and fresh water supply, the latter of which has been identified as “the bloodstream of the biosphere”. Integrating econometric analysis into energy research with social science ramifications, thi… Show more
“…In this process, a significant amount of heat is released. Electric energy is obtained with the steam of this heat 1 . It is possible to talk about the many benefits of nuclear energy for countries.…”
Summary
The aim of this study is to define strategies to increase green nuclear energy investments. Within this context, a model is suggested that includes two different stages. Firstly, the consensus‐based fuzzy preferences are determined for these investments. For this purpose, four different TRIZ‐based strategies are identified, which have an influence on the effectiveness of these projects. Furthermore, in the second stage, the significance weights of these strategies are calculated by considering the spherical fuzzy DEMATEL approach. The findings indicate that dynamicity is the most appropriate TRIZ strategy for the effectiveness of green nuclear energy investments. In addition, the prior action is another significant strategy that should also be considered in these projects. It is obvious that sufficient technological infrastructure is very important for the performance of green nuclear power plants and there is a rapid development of this technology. Because of this situation, these nuclear power plants should be designed effectively so that they can be adoptable to any changes in the technology. In this scope, qualified personnel should be employed, and communication between departments should be effective and of high quality. With the help of these issues, technological changes can be adopted more easily.
