Abstract After about 15-year period of nuclear power industry stagnation throughout the world a trend for its step-by-step development has recently become apparent. According to the IAEA's data, as of December 2002, 441 power units of 358 661 MW integral electric capacity were in operation, and 32 new power units of 26 910 MW integral electric capacity were under construction (Table 1). The table data show that 70.3% of the world's nuclear power are produced by only five countries: the USA (30.3%), France (16.4%), Japan (12.2%), Germany (6.3%) and Russia (5.1%), the remainder amount being generated by 24 countries of four continents of the Globe. The structure of fuelenergy balance and power production by type of energy resources is illustrated in Table 2. In 1998 the proportion of nuclear power in the global fuel-energy balance and electric power generation made up 6% and 17%, respectively [1].
