원자력 기술 검토 2023 (Nuclear Technology Review 2023)
본 보고서는 2022년 주목할만한 원자력 기술 검토 진행으로 주목할만한 점을 기술하고 있습니다.
For the second consecutive year, the Agency has revised upwards its annual projections of the potential growth of nuclear power in the coming decades, to reflect a shift in the global debate about energy and the environment amid growing concerns over energy security and climate change. The increasing penetration of variable renewable energy sources can be a cause of instability for electrical grids, which nuclear power plants (NPPs) can compensate through a stable, clean energy supply. The Agency has increased its high case projection to 873 gigawatts (GW) in 2050, up 10% from the previous year’s high case scenario. Depending on the level of global electrification, the share of nuclear power could represent up to 14% of the electricity mix in 2050, a substantial increase from the current figure of 9.8%.
