The world needs to produce energy for its development without producing gases that cause global warming.

The solution to the ever increasing demand for energy to satisfy the needs of growing world population and improving its standard of living lies in the combined utilization of all forms of energy. Nuclear energy produced safely and economically has an important role in solving the world energy problem. The public objections to nuclear energy most often expressed are reactor safety, cost and nuclear waste disposal. The proposed reactor concept is to meet the requirements of a modern reactor.

At the end of 2000, 438 nuclear power reactors were in operation in 31 countries around the world, generating electricity for nearly 1 billion people. They account for approximately 17 percent of worldwide installed base capacity for electricity generation.

About 30% of the world’s primary energy consumption is used for electricity generation, about 15% is used for transportation, and the remaining 55% is converted into hot water, steam and heat. Non-electric applications include desalination, hot water for district heating, and heat energy for petroleum refining, for the petrochemical industry, and for the conversion of hard coal or lignite. For non-electric applications, the specific temperature requirements vary greatly. Hot water for district heating and heat for seawater desalination require temperatures in the 80 to 200 C range, whereas temperatures in the 250 to 550 C range are required for petroleum refining processes and about 800 C are necessary for coal gasification processes.
