Nuclear energy scenario of Asian developing countries
Energy, power and fuel are the critical and essential needs globally for long term prosperity of any Nation in establishing sustainable economic stability for developed or developing countries. The fulfillments of these needs are associated with issues and concerns on environmental pollutions and emissions, climate changes, safety and security of humanity in multiple directions, in particular during generation, storing and transporting these needs. At present, the only one non-trivial protected solution appears; to save the Nature confidently be achieved by full utilization of all available renewable energy sources. These energy sources are freely and abundantly available from the Sun in many forms; alternatively the nuclear resources like uranium and thorium are available on Earth to a large extent as a complement to nuclear energy. However it is a major challenge, to all developing countries to achieve sustainable nuclear energy, electricity and fuel before the year 2020, the Global Nuclear Year, considering the economic advantages in addition to its intrinsic uncertainties and liabilities. This primarily addresses on radioactive waste, decommissioning and reactor operational safety limitations. At present nuclear expansion is centered more in Asia, where 18 of 32 reactors now build are being operational. Countries like Japan, South Korea, China and India will become soon the lead centers of global nuclear power expansion programs. This paper supplements a detailed analysis on the current state of art of pros and cons of Asian Nuclear Development Programs, in visualizing global compatibility for the achievement of Nuclear Sustainability
