The leading countries of the world have set a goal of preserving the nature of the planet, carefully passing it on to future generations, and at the same time qualitatively improving the state of public institutions, overcoming poverty and raising the world economy to a new level. To this end, the Sustainable Development Goals until 2030 have been defined within the framework of the United Nations.
All these goals cannot be reached without a swift transition to environmentally friendly energy sources (nuclear energy being one of these) taken on a large scale. NPPs are the meaningful and integral part of the so-called “green square” of the energy sector on par with solar, wind and hydroelectric power generation.
According to experts, over the next 50 years, humanity will consume more energy than it did throughout its entire history.
The following figures demonstrate the nuclear fuel efficiency:

energy (almost 90 thou. times more than when burning coal.)
It is impossible to store hydrocarbon fuel in the amounts equal in energy capacity to nuclear fuel.
New generation NPPs are not dependent on natural phenomena and fully protected against all the cataclysms imaginable. These will uninterruptedly generate the electricity needed in every home in almost any situation.
We build NPPs…
…and provide for uninterruptable, reliable and powerful energy source.
…and reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
…and contribute to the development of science, technology and education.
…and create new jobs.
Nuclear power plant is a source of energy for maintaining full enjoyment of life and preservation of environment and nature of the Earth.
