INSC 원자력 에너지 보고서 2023 (INCS Nuclear Energy Report 2023)
본 보고서는 2023년 전 세계 각국의 원자력 에너지 현황 및 전망을 분석합니다.
There is substantial interest in expanding the use of nuclear energy in many parts of the world in order to address pressing concerns associated with climate change and energy security. Australia’s draft National Infrastructure Research Roadmap released in 2016 set out priorities for the decade ahead, with research infrastructures such as the OPAL reactor and the Australian Synchrotron in Melbourne being recognized as "a category of research infrastructure that is of such scale that the national interest is best served by landmark facilities," relying on government investment. China’s target of nuclear-generating capacity is 200GWe by the year 2035. In 2020, Bloomberg News reported that China’s National People's Congress supported future building of 6 to 8 reactors a year. Japan has set energy-related targets to be met by 2030 including the reduction of energy demand from 363 million kl crude oil equivalent in 2013 to 280 million kl by enhancing energy efficiency; electricity production 20 ~ 22% nuclear, 36 ~ 38% renewable, 1% hydrogen and ammonia, 20% LNG, and 19% coal. Japan’s policy for nuclear energy is to promote the stable vi use of nuclear energy, promote research and development on the premise of ensuring safety; while its policy of Nuclear R&D is to sustain the development of fast reactors, demonstrate the technology of small modular reactors, establish the elemental technology related to hydrogen production in high-temperature gas reactors, and promote the fusion science and engineering for future nuclear energy. South Korea’s plan for Long-term Electricity Supply and Demand envisages 13 new reactors to be in operation by 2029. The current South Korean government reverted the nuclear exit policy of the previous government and is putting more emphasis on nuclear power to achieve its carbon neutrality goal. It is believed that the share of nuclear power will continue its steady rise in the future.
