Abstract

This article examines the role of nuclear power in the USSR. Since the beginning of development of power reactors in the Soviet Union in the 1950s, their contribution had grown to six per cent of all electric power by 1980. Reactor development has proceeded rapidly, with a number of reactor designs in use. Fast breeder reactors and designs for specialized applications are under development. It is anticipated that the Contribution of nuclear power will continue to grow. Cet article étudie le rôle de l'énergie nucléaire en URSS. Depuis le début de la construction des réacteurs nucléaires en Union Soviétique dans les années 50, leur part dans la production totale d'électricité a atteint six pour cent en 1980. La construction des récteurs s'est faite rapidement, avec divers types de réacteurs. Actuellement, on procède à la construction de surrégénérateurs à neutrons rapides ainsi que de réacteurs pour des besoins spéciaux et on prévoir que la part de l'énergie nucléaire continuera à croitre. Este articulo examina el papel de la energía nuclear en URSS. Desde el comienzo del desarrollo de los reactores nucleares en la energía nuclear ha crecido hasta representar el seis por ciento de la potencia eléctrica en 1980. El desarrollo de reactores ha sido rápido y diferentes dise˜os está en uso actualmente. Se encuentran en desarrollo los reactores regeneradores rápídos y también dis˜os para applicaciones especializadas. Se anticipa que la contribución de la energía nuclear va continuar en aumento.
