The nuclear power is the clear energy and the nuclear power plant is the good power plant project, but someone disagree the project for the environment impact from the nuclear radioactivity. This paper compares the different opinions about the nuclear power project and analyzes the existing problems. The advantages of the nuclear power plant are the abundant raw material uranium, the light environment pollution, the low operation cost and the environment radioactivity risk. The disadvantages of the project are the public fear from the nuclear risk, the difficult to dispose the nuclear waste, and the difficult to dismantle the nuclear power plant. My opinion is to develop the nuclear power plant in places with poor energy resource, and develop the hydroelectric power plant in places with rich water resource, and develop the wind power plant in places with rich wind resource, and develop the heat power plant in places with rich coal, oil, natural gas or other fossil fuel resources.

Nowadays, the problem of supplying fresh water to scarcer regions of the world is still acute. The seawater desalination has been touted as the main solution of closing the water gap in the Middle East and North Africa. However, seawater desalination is expensive and energy-intensive and influences the environment, extremely. Using nuclear power is a viable alternative energy resource to decrease the set of problems of consuming fossil fuels in the desalination plants. Iran, which is located in the arid belt of the eastern hemisphere, as a member state of IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) has announced his interest in the implementation of dual-purpose nuclear desalination in the existing nuclear power plant of the country. The Bushehr nuclear power plant is the first commercial nuclear reactor in the Middle East and can be used as a multi-purpose atomic complex to meet the demand for energy and supply of water to arid regions in the south of the country. This paper performs a thermo-economic assessment study for different desalination strategies in the second block of Bushehr NPP.

The determining value of the Kola NPP in the structure of the Kola electric power system is shown. The mutually complementary operation of the 1,760 MW KAES with seventeen hydroelectric power stations with a capacity of about 1,600 MW and two 240 MW thermal power plants makes the region's power supply system unique, producing the cheapest electricity in the North-West of Russia. The issues related to the further extension of the operating life of the existing nuclear power plant and the construction of theKola NPP-2 in the future are considered.

ABSTRACTThe storage and transportation barriers of hydrogen are cleared by sodium metal “Source of Hydrogen” produced from warm seawater discharged at the nuclear power plant. The warm seawater is electrolyzed to produce sodium hydroxide; which is then subjected to molten-salt electrolysis by surplus power of the plant to produce sodium metal “a hydrogen generator”. The seawater contains salt most after fresh water; which is the raw material of sodium metal and is never drained. The sodium metal is transported to the electric power station in a consumption place, where a large amount of hydrogen is generated immediately by adding water on the sodium metal for power generation. Salt, the raw material of sodium metal, is in the sea over the world, and it is not necessary to worry about the maldistribution and exhaustion.

Due to the increase in energy demand, many countries suffer from energy poverty because of insufficient and expensive energy supply. Plans to use alternative power like nuclear power for electricity generation are being revived among developing countries. Decisions for installation of power plants need to be based on careful assessment of future energy supply and demand, economic and financial implications and requirements for technology transfer. Since the problem involves many vague parameters, a fuzzy model should be an appropriate approach for dealing with this problem. This study develops a Fuzzy Multi-Objective Linear Programming (FMOLP) model for solving the nuclear power plant installation problem in fuzzy environment. FMOLP approach is recommended for cases where the objective functions are imprecise and can only be stated within a certain threshold level. The proposed model attempts to minimize total duration time, total cost and maximize the total crash time of the installation project. By using FMOLP, the weighted additive technique can also be applied in order to transform the model into Fuzzy Multiple Weighted-Objective Linear Programming (FMWOLP) to control the objective values such that all decision makers target on each criterion can be met. The optimum solution with the achievement level for both of the models (FMOLP and FMWOLP) are compared with each other. FMWOLP results in better performance as the overall degree of satisfaction depends on the weight given to the objective functions. A numerical example demonstrates the feasibility of applying the proposed models to nuclear power plant installation problem.
