Description

The power supply by the FBR type reactors which depends upon the availability of essential raw materials such as Cr and Mo for structural and special steels is supposed to be less ensured than supply by fossil-fueled power plants. This contribution tries to verify this statement by means of estimates of the annual Cr and Mo demand, of the resources, production and consumption as well as by a study of the possibilities of recycling and substituting Cr and Mo. The only realistic alternative to the fast breeder type reactor is supposed to be a soft path of development according to the principle of decentralization, utilization of renewable energy sources regard to environmental protection, and use of less sophisticated technology.

Abstract (German)

Die Energieversorgung durch SB soll im Hinblick auf the Bereitstellung essentieller Rohstoffe, wie Cr and Mo fuer Bau- und Edelstaehle, in erheblich geringerem Masse gesichert sein als eine solche durch fossile Brennstoffe. Dies wird versucht, anhand von Schaetzungen des jaehrlichen Cr- und Mo-Bedarfs, der Vorraete, Foerderung and Verbrachs sowie der Moeglichkeiten fuer die Rezyklierung und Substitution von Cr and Mo zu belegen. Einzige realistische Alternative zum SB sei ein sanfter Entwicklungsweg nach dem Prinzip der Dezentralisierung, Nutzung erneuerbarer Rohstoffe, Umweltschonung und einfache Technik. (DG)
