SENOR LECTURER OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS AND TECHNOLOGY ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

The President views the issue of a source of clean nuclear energy and its safety not in terms of geopolitical interests, but in terms of the real needs of the country.

Personally, I believe that nuclear power plants can play an important role in the future energy system, especially if we can solve basic problems such as safety and waste disposal. It is important to approach the construction of nuclear power plants with a high degree of responsibility and transparency, ensuring that all standards are strictly monitored and adhered to. Building nuclear power plants (NPPs) has both strengths and weaknesses, and I support their use as long as safety standards and responsibility in waste management are strictly adhered to.

The pros I see are:

  1. Reduced carbon emissions: nuclear power plants offer a significant reduction in carbon emissions compared to fossil energy sources. With global warming, this is especially important as we strive to reduce our carbon footprint.
  2. Stability of energy supply: Unlike renewable sources such as solar and wind power, which are weather-dependent, nuclear power plants provide a stable and continuous supply of energy, which is critical to maintaining infrastructure and the economy.
  3. Energy efficiency: nuclear power plants are capable of producing large amounts of energy in a limited area, making them efficient in the face of increasing demand for electricity.

Cons that are also important: Public Concerns. Social and environmental concerns about nuclear power plants often lead to protests and resistance from local communities. These concerns need to be taken into account and try to minimise their effects.

However, I am also convinced that NPPs should be part of a wider energy strategy that includes the development of renewable energy sources. This will create a balanced and sustainable energy system that is less dependent on one type of energy source and can flexibly adapt to changes in demand and technological advances.
