[en] The forecast is based on the value of gross load at a winter peak time of a working day. It is expected that new 440 and 1000 MW nuclear power plants will be introduced by the year 2010. Power balance data for the individual areas in Czechoslovakia, and transmissions from abroad are listed. Briefly described is the condition of the transmission grid and its projected reconstruction by the year 2010. The balance of the Czechoslovak electric power grid will show liabilities between 1995 and 2000 (imports of 175 MW while it will show assets between 2005 and 2010 (exports of 275 MW).

[en] The purpose of the paper is to determine the range of consumers, for whom it is advisable to be supplied with electric power from low power NPPs. Evaluations of the total electric power and heat demand were made for settlements with population of 20 and 50 thousands. The analysis of obtained results showed, that single-unit thermal power of low-power reactor should be limited by 500 MW. Electric power of the unit during operation under heat supply conditions will be equal to 100-130 MW and under condensation conditions - 150-170 MW. Thus, the upper power limit for independent four-unit low-power NPP (with one reserve power unit) is established on the level of 2000 MW

[en] An opportunity to create the space power production on the basis of solar, nuclear and fusion energies is analyzed. The priority of solar power production as the most accessible and feasible in comparison with others is emphasized. However, later on, it probably will play an auxiliary role. The possibilities of fusion power production, as a basic one in future, are also considered. It is necessary to create reactors using the fueling cycle with helium-3 (instead of tritium and deuterium, later on). The reaction products--charged particles, mainly--allow one to organize the system of direct fusion energy conversion into electricity. The produced energy is expected not to be transmitted to Earth, but an industry in space is expected to be produced on its basis. The industrial (power and science-consuming) objects located on a whole number of space apparatus will form a single complex with its own basic power plant. The power transmission within the complex will be realized with high power density fluxes of microwave radiation to short distances with their receivers at the objects. The necessary correction of the apparatus positions in the complex will be done with ion and plasma thrusters. The materials present on the Moon, asteroids and on other planets can serve as raw materials for industrial objects. Such an approach will help to improve the ecological state on Earth, to eliminate the necessity in the fast energy consumption growth and to reduce the hazard of global thermal crisis

[en] Information concerning the main trends in the development and fields of applying of small-power (600 MW(el.)) reactors is offered, data on economic indices of reactors of this type and the place they occupy at the World power market, are presented

[en] In the years 1992-1995, the target project is to be completed of a nuclear power plant of a new generation with WWER 1000 type units. The operation is briefly described of the project management system that assists in design control and organization, as are the drawbacks in the application of the project in the Czechoslovak situation. A feasibility study has been prepared of an automated integrated information system, which also reflects the important aspects of the project management system. (M.D.). 2 refs

[en] This paper describes a 40 kW_e STAR-C thermionic reactor system designed in response to evolving Air Force space power requirements. The resulting nuclear power system is compact and has as overall system efficiency of 11.9%. The entire power conversion subsystem can be pre-launch tested at its operating conditions, independent of the nuclear heat source. System mass, which includes the reactor power subsystem and shield, the power processing and control (PP and C) subsystem and the separation boom has been optimized to 3100 kg. The STAR-C system has been designed to deliver 40.6 kW_e at 95% reliability for 10 years. The system is survivable against SUPER level threats and has no possibility of single point failure

[en] Industrialized countries now consume about 70% of their primary energy as heat and only 30% as electric power. In general, heat consumption can be divided into two temperature levels: low-temperature heat, which includes hot water or low-quality steam for district heat, desalination, and other purposes and high-temperature process heat, which includes process steam for various industrial applications (alumininium production, chemicals) or high-temperature heat for conversion of fossil fuels, hydrogen production, and so on. Water-cooled reactors can produce hot water or steam up to about 300 deg. C. Gas-cooled reactors cooled by helium or carbon dioxide can produce process steam up to 540 deg. C and the high-temperature gas-cooled, graphite-moderated reactor (HTGR) can produce process heat up to 950 deg. C. With regard to the future national and global security of energy supplies, nuclear heat can begin to play a key role in the 1990s and beyond. Status of low-temperature and high-temperature applications in the world in reviewed

[en] Studies about the construction of a new power unit at the Kozloduy site were been performed in 70 and 80 in connection with the construction of the units 5 and 6. In the end of 90 a technical-economical analysis has been done by Energoproject for studying the possibility to construct a new power unit with two possible sites considered. In February 2010, a preliminary study was conducted by Iberdrola I&C in co-operation with Kozloduy Ltd. for the construction of a replacing power unit on the above mentioned sites. The latter clearly shows the main advantage of the Kozloduy site which is the existing infrastructure and plant facilities. Possible ways of financing are also discussed
