The article considers current state of safety of nuclear power engineering. It presents a brief summary of stress-tests at nuclear power plants in the European Union and Russia. It reveals that the power on breeders shall not develop due to its low efficiency, high expenses and the risk of propagation of nuclear materials. Moreover, construction of plutonium processing production operations on nuclear power plant platforms with breeders, production of mixed uranium-plutonium nuclear fuel and synthesis ofamericium-241 in the spent nuclear fuel calls ecological safety into question. The article also addresses conceptual issues of creation of environmentally friendly nuclear power on the basis of nuclear relativistic technology. It is shown that such power shall not produce "bomb" materials and, therefore, will find extensive application around the world. Thereby the most challenging international problems of the present will be solved. The new nuclear power can become a basis for hydrogen production, which might solve practically all problems of mankind, including even food, by means of nuclear energy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
