Planning ten years ahead a multidisciplinary nuclear research and technology institute: the case of IPEN
Planning is always a problem in government organisations whose mission involves the development of Research and Development (R&D) activities. The current issue of the Nuclear and Energy Research Institute (IPEN), the Brazilian largest nuclear and energy research and technology institute, is to plan the reconciling of long–term ramifications of a large project funded by the Union's budget with the ...

Comprehensive substantiation of the adaptive development of energy systems in terms of changing external conditions
The paper addresses a multi-step technology for comprehensive decision making on the adaptive development of energy systems and the fuel and energy complex as a whole. Consideration is given to the mathematical models applied when using the technology at two levels: the fuel and energy complex and the energy sectors (energy systems). The research technology is illustrated by the example of ...

Policy oriented review for photovoltaics introduction in the EU
In order to continuously monitor its targets towards a 'green Europe', the European Commission has set up a project to enhance the availability, completeness and quality of data regarding new energy technologies (NET), energy end-use efficiency (EEE) and energy research and technology development (RTD). The scientific reference system (SRS) established in the framework of this project was ...

Nuclear knowledge portal for supporting licensing and controlling nuclear activities in the Brazilian Nuclear Energy Commission
The knowledge economy is pivotal for moving the wealth and development of traditional industrial sectors – abundant in manual labour, raw materials and capital – to areas whose products, processes and services are rich in technology and knowledge. Even in research areas such as nuclear energy, where goods are based on high technology, the ability to transform information into knowledge, and ...

European nuclear education network
In most countries within the European Union that rely to a significant extent on nuclear power, neither undergraduate nor PhD education is producing a sufficient number of engineers and doctors to fill the needs of the industry. As a result of an EU-supported project, a new education organisation, European Nuclear Education Network (ENEN), has recently been established, with the aim to establish ...

Nuclear knowledge management and preservation in Lithuania
Problems of nuclear knowledge management and preservation in Lithuania are presented in the paper. The support provided through bilateral cooperation projects was very important for Lithuania. The main projects implemented in the last 14 years are described in this paper. Lithuania joined INIS (International Nuclear Information System) in 1994 and established its own INIS national centre in the ...

Need for restoration of the nuclear knowledge management in Serbia
Nuclear programmes in former Yugoslavia have been supported by comprehensive research and development (R&D), educational programmes and pertinent training in the country and abroad. Three research reactors and one nuclear power plant (NPP) were constructed and operated with the significant participation of domestic experts. Since 1989, the nuclear expertise has deteriorated considerably in ...

The US Department of Energy research and development programme on hydrogen production using nuclear energy
As part of the Hydrogen Fuel Initiative proposed by President George W. Bush in 2003, the Nuclear Hydrogen Initiative is developing technologies to provide large amounts of hydrogen without pollution or greenhouse gases. The Nuclear Hydrogen Initiative is a research and development programme within the Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy, Science and Technology that is using a series ...

Deploying wind power in Australia: a socio-technical analysis
Conventional explanations for Australia's historically scant use of wind energy in power generation have focused on wind power's cost and undesirable technical characteristics (particularly intermittency). This paper argues for a more comprehensive explanatory framework, drawing on insights from the Social Shaping of Technology. This framework combines contextual historical and interpretive ...
