Considerations on the exploitation and future prospects of natural energy resources

Energy resources utilizable on the Earth have practically nuclear origin. During their release and transformation, the law of equivalency is prevailing, and the thermal contamination of the environment becomes unavoidable. Significance of the risk coefficients, dynamics of the resource exploitation, the structure of consumption, the prices are highlighted. Conditions for the establishment of balanced nuclear energy systems and the expected benefits on natural uranium demand are discussed. (author)
