核融合と環境

概要

論文の詳細を見る
The role of nuclear energy, with focus on that of nuclear fusion, is pointed out in environmentally compatible energy strategies. After a brief historical review of energy-environmental issues, the global warming problem caused by greenhouse effect is explained in detail. Since the carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels is a dominant source of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, world energy systems should be changed to carbon free systems in the long run, while energy efficiency improvements and less carbon intensive fuels such as natural gas are to be used to meet urgent needs to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Nuclear energy is expected to play a key role in the transition for achieving sustainable development. Several conditions are suggested for the successful role of nuclear energy.
