Abstract

Largest Users Of Nuclear Power

The US, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, and South Korea are the largest users of nuclear power. China, India, and Southeast Asia are among regions likely to initiate more rapid adoption of nuclear reactors. Nuclear power is moving to next generation systems that promise to be more efficient and safer than initial systems.

Russia Has Experimented With Several Lead-Cooled Reactor Designs

Russia has experimented with several lead-cooled reactor designs. It has used leadbismuth cooling for 40 years in reactors for its Alfa class submarines. Pb-208 (54% of naturally-occurring lead) is transparent to neutrons. A significant new Russian design is the Brest fast neutron reactor, of 300 MWe with lead as the primary coolant, at 540°C, and supercritical steam generators. It is inherently safe and uses a U+Pu nitride fuel.

Uranium Market Driving Forces

Uranium market driving forces relate to the need for clean energy that is competitive with the higher priced oil products used to generate electricity. Clean energy has become a priority as pollutants cause health difficulties worldwide.

Domestically, the United States has 100 nuclear reactors supplying more than 20% of the nation' s electricity. Enrichment capacity complements raw material uranium. USEC seeks to provide enrichment capacity.

Nuclear power supplies a sixth of world electricity demand. A period of little new construction is ending and the market is at the threshold of significant expansion globally. There are multiple drivers for this upsurge in interest.
