Hội Vật lý châu Âu (EPS) là một cơ quan độc lập được tài trợ bởi sự đóng góp từ xã hội quốc gia vật lý, các cơ quan khác và các thành viên cá nhân. Nó đại diện cho hơn nhà vật lý và có thể gọi về kiểm định trong tất cả các lĩnh vực vật lý là tham gia. Giấy Chức vụ bao gồm hai phần, vị trí EPS, tóm tắt các khuyến nghị, và một phần khoa học / kỹ thuật. | ENERGY FOR THE FUTURE The Nuclear Option A position paper of the EPS European Physical Society more than ideas Energy for the Future - The Nuclear Option The EPS position The European Physical Society EPS is an independent body funded by contributions from national physical societies other bodies and individual members. It represents over 100 000 physicists and can call on expertise in all areas where physics is involved. The Position Paper consists of two parts the EPS position summarising the recommendations and a scientific technical part. The scientific technical part is essential to the Position Paper as it contains all facts and arguments that form the basis of the EPS position. i The objective of the Position Paper Preamble The use of nuclear power for electricity generation is the subject of worldwide debate some countries increase its exploitation substantially others gradually phase it out still others forbid its use by law. This Position Paper aims at a balanced presentation of the pros and cons of nuclear power and at informing both decision makers and the general public by communicating verifiable facts. It aims to contribute to a democratic debate which acknowledges scientific and technical facts as well as people s proper concerns. ii Future energy consumption and generation of electricity Section 1 The increase of the world population from billion today to an estimated billion in 2050 will be accompanied by a increase in energy demand per year. No one source will be able to supply the energy needs of future generations. In Europe about one third of the energy produced comes in the form of electric energy of which is produced by nuclear power plants and from renewable energy sources. Although the contribution from renewable energy sources has grown significantly since the beginning of the 1990s the demand for electricity cannot be satisfied realistically without the nuclear contribution. iii Need for a CO2 free energy cycle .
