Nuclear Energy Effects On Economic Development
Abstract
This paper seeks to understand the various effects that the nuclear energy program has on the economic development of any country, particularly the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Global energy requirements are only increasing with each passing day and the contribution of nuclear power to the overall energy consumption is bound to increase significantly in the coming days. Energy security and climate change are important reasons to pursue nuclear power policies. Electricity is the driving force behind development and nuclear energy provides an effective source for electricity. UAE seeks nuclear energy due to its dwindling natural resources. Economic development of the country can only be maintained by following nuclear energy programs coupled with high standards of safety and security.
Introduction
Energy is the most important aspect of economic growth in the world today as it continues to run the biggest and the smallest industries and household. Global energy requirements are only increasing with each passing day and the contribution of nuclear power to the overall energy consumption is bound to increase significantly in the coming days. For the economic development of any country, energy is a dominant requirement but the natural resources are dwindling and we need to find alternate methods of energy production (Morecroft, 2007). Under such circumstances, nuclear energy is the only valid and sustainable source that would meet future requirements.
Energy security and climate change are important reasons to pursue nuclear power policies. Electricity is the driving force behind development and nuclear energy provides an effective source for electricity. Nuclear energy provides cleaner alternative to coal based electricity and it can reduce emissions if enough nuclear reactors are built in the coming years. However, nuclear waste disposal and financing of nuclear power plants are serious
