Abstract

Opisana je kategorizacija i dan je pregled postojećih zaliha urana i torija. Dan je pregled karakteristika lakovodnih reaktora i reaktora s rastopljenim solima torija i urana. Definirali smo različite scenarije razvoja nuklearnih kapaciteta na svjetskoj razini koji doprinose malo, srednje i značajno (polovina ukupne proizvedene električne energije) dugoročnim energetskim strategijama uz pretpostavku korištenja postojeće tehnologije lakovodnih reaktora do 2065. godine i uvođenja reaktora s rastopljenim solima torija i urana nakon 2065. godine. Proračunali smo potrebne količine urana i torija za realizaciju definiranih scenarija do kraja ovog stoljeća i utvrdili dostatnost zaliha nuklearnog goriva.

Abstract (english)

We described the categorization and gave an overview of existing uranium and thorium resources. We gave an overview of the characteristics of light-water reactors and molten salt reactors with thorium and uranium. Different global-level development scenarios of nuclear capacities are defined which contribute little, medium and significantly (half of the total electricity produced) to long-term energy strategies assuming the introduction of molten salt reactors after the year 2065. Required amount of uranium and thorium for the realization of predefined scenarios by the end of this century were calculated.
