The document discusses controversies around nuclear energy in the context of the current global energy crisis. It covers topics like predicting future energy needs and patterns of nuclear energy use. It also examines the economics of nuclear energy, including costs of construction, operation, waste disposal and decommissioning. Safety concerns over waste are weighed against the economic benefits. The document points to Sweden as an example of a country that has recently reversed its ban on nuclear energy, in part due to goals of reducing climate change impacts and gaining energy independence.

11. The waste problem a burden for the competitive advantage . Industrial waste Approx. 1000 million cubic meters Toxic industrial waste approx. 10 million cubic meters Radioactive waste 50000 cubic mmeters High activity radioactive waste 500 cubic meters Waste generation comparison – yearly production of waste in the European Union - disposal is via recycling as fuel, geological sequestration or via dilution. - Burying concentrated wastes is problematic because of the uncontrollability of geological events or undetected vulnerabilities - the public acceptance and research solution (Sweden) - the nuclear reprocessing solution (France, Japan) Topic 1 Topic 3 Topic 4 Topic 6 Topic 5 Topic 2
