2. Constraints common to all sectors
The development of nuclear energy in this century, and in particular its acceptance by society, will only be possible if serious guarantees are provided in a number of areas. This implies that a number of constraints must be taken into account, regardless of the type of technology envisaged. We will deal with safety, waste, non-proliferation and economic issues in turn.
2.1 Security and terrorist risks
-
The primary purpose of nuclear power plants is to generate electrical energy, and this must be done safely. In the past, this requirement has led to the a priori rejection of certain neutronically interesting, but intrinsically dangerous, options, for example when there was a risk of bringing materials liable to cause an explosion into...
