Nuclear energy – A primary resource in the interconnected energy system. Against the background of renewed discussion of the use and future role of nuclear energy, the terms of reference for nuclear energy will be redefined. By contrast with fossil fuels, nuclear fuels are energy resources which can be used practically only for the provision of energy, and thus directly affect the conservation of more valuable resources. On the basis of the boundary conditions with respect to worldwide energy supply, the contribution of nuclear energy to electrical energy supplies will be illustrated in terms of national and world figures. Prospects will be considered as to the future possibility of further development of proven systems for nuclear energy utilization, while appraising the development and significance of advanced systems which will also open up new markets in the interconnected energy system for the primary resource nuclear energy.
