Journal Title: Бізнес Інформ - Year 2014, Vol 12, Issue 0

Abstract

The main directions and problems of development of nuclear energy in Ukraine are presented. It has been determined, that in planning the development of the energy system of Ukraine under the Ukraine-European Union Association Agreement will be needed to combine the requirements to the level of prices and the security of supply of electricity, which can be achieved only on the basis of development of nuclear energy as a primary source for basic electric energy. It has been displayed, that in Ukraine, where nuclear power provides 50% of electricity production, four of 15 blocks of the NPP have already exceeded the planned operating life (30 years), and the other nine have worked for more than 20 years, thus in the current government programmes should be provided for technological and economic measures aimed at the continuation of life of the working reactors and their gradual closure. It has been determined also, that nuclear energy in Ukraine needs a diversification of nuclear technologies and to implement a gradual transition to using the fourth-generation reactors, which are to be applied in the construction of new power plants, as well as to implement effective solutions for the development of the nuclear fuel cycle and the management of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel. Results of implementation of the State program of fundamental and applied research on the use of nuclear materials, nuclear and radiation technologies in the sphere of development of economic sectors for 2004-2010, as well as results of comprehensive target program of research by the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine «Scientific and technical support for the development of nuclear energy and the application of radiation technology in the sectors of the economy» for 2011-2013 are presented.
