Abstract

The study of the energy released during nuclear fission is a complex and challenging task in the context of the current energy realities.In the context of the global drive for environmental sustainability, nuclear power generation is again considered a promising option.However, the use of this approach is associated with serious concerns regarding the safety of facilities and as well as the introduction of efficient, reliable and environmentally friendly burial methods.At the current stage of energy development, nuclear power plants occupy an important place in the global energy supply system.According to information provided by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a number of countries operate nuclear reactors that generate a significant share of the required electricity [1].This technological approach has become especially widespread in countries that set goals to diversify energy sources and reduce dependence on fossil fuels, for example France, Slovakia, Hungary and Ukraine.The most common reactor designs, such as pressurized water reactors (VVERs) and boiling water reactors (BWRs), use enriched uranium as fuel and water to slow down the neutrons and remove the heat generated.Nuclear power has a number of advantages that make it an attractive choice for many countries.First, nuclear power plants do not produce greenhouse gases during the generation of electricity, which helps reduce emissions and combat global warming.Second, nuclear fuel is extremely dense, meaning that a small amount of fuel can produce a large amount of energy.This reduces the amount of fuel that must be transported and stored compared to fossil fuels.Third, nuclear power plants are capable of operating in a constant power mode, which means that they can provide stable electricity generation regardless of the time of day, weather, and other variables that affect other energy sources, such as solar and
