The future growth of energy, electricity and nuclear power up to the year 2030 is presented as low and high estimates in order to encompass the uncertainties associated with the future. These estimates should be viewed as very general growth trends whose validity must constantly be subjected to critical review.

Nuclear Power Projections: Estimates for the Period up to 2030

<p>Each atom contains a tiny central positively charged nucleus and a number of electrons. The electrons carry negative electric charge and move around the nucleus in shells with loosely defined boundaries.</p><p>The nucleus of the atom contains protons, which carry a positive charge equal to the electron’s negative charge, and neutrons, which carry no charge at all.</p><p>Atoms normally contain equal numbers of protons and electrons and are therefore electrically neutral.</p><p>The illustration shows the oxygen atom planetary model with a nucleus of 8 protons, 8 neutrons and 8 orbital electrons.</p>© IAEA

Radiation Fundamentals

30 countries around the world currently operate over 430 nuclear reactors. Many of them are planning to expand their nuclear power programmes and some are already constructing new plants. In addition, many more countries have expressed an interest in introducing nuclear power to meet energy needs. But there is still no system in place for the permanent disposal of the spent nuclear fuel, which is generated by the nuclear power plants and is highly radioactive, remaining hazardous for up to 100?000 years. © L.
