In the nuclear research, R&D also in other fields of science is necessary. It is expecially the material science and its progress in development of new materials, first used in other industries (e.g. in airplanes) and then appl...
Lack of interest in nuclear energetics among young generation
Development of every industry is depended on availability of human resources. In the countries which declared a phase-out from nuclear energetics, an apparent decrease of interest in this field among young generation is seen, a...
Small-scale nuclear power plant operating
Small-scale nuclear power plant delivering energy only for two cities was put into operation. The production of the energy from this source make the two cities independent on pan-European energy system.
Nuclear power plants built in third world countries
Nuclear power becomes world-spread and nuclear power plants are being built in third world countries - with limited security infrastructure, or inappropriately qualified personnel. The risk of a nuclear disaster would become higher.
Increasing shortage of qualified labor force
With continuous ageing of population and low birth rate, the shortage of qualified labor in certain industrial sectors can become an increasingly wide issue, especially for the developed countries, but also for some of the deve...
