Transformations of the German energy policy after nuclear incident in Fukushima
Špeciánová, Sára ; Nigrin, Tomáš (advisor) ; Mlsna, Petr (referee)
On 11th March 2011 was Japan hit by tsunami, which caused among others the accident in nuclear energy station in Fukushima. This disaster has influenced the German energy policy a lot and this despite the fact that Japan is situated on the other side of the world. The real risks of nuclear power in Germany didn't change as well. This paper follows the changes of energy policy that were caused by the accident. Because of the long-term character of energy decisions, is it important to mention the period of red-green alliance, which was very essential. The paper concentrates on the years 2010 and 2011, when the most changes happened. The changes in nuclear sector and renewable sources sector are described more in detail. The aim of this paper is the qualitative description of these changes and the evaluation of their consequences and the overall impact on the German power industry. The nuclear disaster in Fukushima accelerated the development within the energy transition, which started in 2000. The changes were very fast and the biggest impact was caused in nuclear sector, which was the acceleration of nuclear phase out. In renewable sources sector was the effect minimal, the targets remained unchanged. The energy transition goes very well, despite some negative effects. In future would it be...
Change of the German nuclear energy policy after the accident of nuclear power station in Fukushima
Svobodová, Tereza ; Nigrin, Tomáš (advisor) ; Mynaříková, Romana (referee)
Germany decided in summer 2011 to stop using the atom as a source of energy. Politicians responded this way because of resistance of the society to the nuclear power. This opposition grew after the accident in Japanese power station Fukushima in March 2011. This thesis deals with German nuclear power policy and the anti-nuclear movement. It will trace it from its beginning in 1998, when the Green party was for the first time in government and the first nuclear power phase-out was decided, until the year 2012. The moves of mostly political participants are analysed in connection to Fukushima accident. The aim of this analyse is to describe the changes in German energy policy and to find reasons for the decision to give up nuclear power. The paper comes to conclusion that the reason for the amendment of nuclear act and thereby gradual disconnection of all nuclear power stations was not only because of the demand by the public, but also the pressure of the opposition on the government. The government tried to keep their voters, alternatively the bigger coalition partner CDU/CSU wanted to open another coalition possibility with one of the oppositional parties. Germany will have to build in following years not only new power stations, but also intelligent nets as well. If the Germans want to keep their goals...
Nuclear Power in the Green Party Agenda before and after the first Phase - Out - Agreement in Germany
Šestáková, Gita ; Nigrin, Tomáš (advisor) ; Mlsna, Petr (referee)
The red - green coalition in German national government agreed in the autumn of 1998 on a phase - out nuclear strategy, a conclusion made after long - term public debate. This thesis works with agenda setting and advocacy coalition theory in order to discover the efficiency of Green party's attempts to realize its vision of nuclear phase - out. This goal of the Greens has remained unchanged since the establishment of the political party; yet the promoting of the concrete aspects was strongly influenced by other actors interested in the energy policy. The position of the Greens in the final agreement process was disadvantaged and the party had to agree on many compromises. After the disaster of Fukushima, German government decided for a quicker nuclear exit. In this perspective, the Greens use their stable anti - nuclear image as a positive aspect for the latest national elections campaign.
Environmental Impact Assessment in the European, Austrian and Czech Legal Regulation
Škrabalová, Kristina ; Damohorský, Milan (advisor) ; Stejskal, Vojtěch (referee)
The process of environmental impact assessment is a control procedure that aims to summarize and evaluate the impact of a project on the environment at the stage of project planning and thus to reduce its potential negative impacts in the future. One of the main ideas of the EIA process is to avoid since the very beginning problems and confrontation which would otherwise appear in the future in connection with the planned project. This principle is particularly important in cases of transboundary assessment where communication between countries and joint consultations on the project in its early stages of planning might prevent potential conflicts and disruption of mutual relations in the future resulting from an already implemented plan. The cornerstone of a transboundary assessment is the understanding that the harmful effects of a specific project do not stop at the borders of one state, but can reach a territory of many other countries, mutual cooperation in this subject is thus with regard to environmental protection necessary. The necessity of such a cooperation on one hand, as well as its pitfalls and difficulties on the other hand, are illustrated in the case of transboundary EIA between the Czech Republic and Austria, that is specifically in the case of the construction of the nuclear power plant...
The nuclear power in Japan and selected european countries
Galková, Alžbeta ; Müller, Štěpán (advisor) ; Čajka, Radek (referee)
The thesis deals with the issue of nuclear energy. Within thesis we focus on attitude of Germany, Japan, Czech Republic and Slovak Republic. We assess their energy policy and transition to renewable energy. The first chapter deals with importance of nuclear energy in European Union. The second chapter is focused on new opportunities in the energy sector and concept of smart cities. The third chapter analyzes the energy of Japan, the fourth chapter the energy of Germany and the fifth chapter is focused on energy of Czech Republic and Slovak Republic.
Current Up-to-Date Research and Development in the Field of Nuclear Fuel
Koláčný, Tomáš ; Varmuža, Jan (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
This bachelor thesis aims to characterize the currently used nuclear fuels and their materials, describe a fuel cycle from the mining, processing and enrichment, to possibe management of used fuel, neatly summarize useing nuclear reactors with their basic specifications and outline the possible trends of development of nuclear fuels.
Advanced nuclear reactors’ promising fuels
Kadlec, Miroslav ; Varmuža, Jan (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
This bachelor thesis focuses on the development of nuclear reactors and the fuel burned them. Thesis describes the various types of nuclear fuel, including the ways they are treated either before or after use in a nuclear power plant. Also included is a description of the situation of nuclear power plants in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. In conclusion focuses on the state of some upcoming projects of the future.
Investigation of NPPs’ environmental impacts using radioanalytical methods
Brunčiaková, Miriama ; Foral, Štěpán (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
This thesis' objective is to analyse local environmental impact of NPP. For impact determination, it is necessary to monitor the locality for a long period. For biomonitoring method, gamma-spectrometers might be used. It should be calibrated before the measurement. Within the thesis investigation, spectrometer of the faculty was calibrated in the laboratory of ionizing radiation and three samples of Czech nuclear facilities outlet were analysed.
Nanotechnology utilization in nuclear industry and research
Skalička, Jiří ; Štefánik, Milan (referee) ; Katovský, Karel (advisor)
This thesis introduces reader to current knowledge of nanomaterials and their usage. It summarises production methods and usage of different materials in nuclear power plants, nuclear research and nuclear medicine. Theoretical part of this thesis is dedicated to possible usage of carbon nanotubes for neutron beam collimation and guides. In experimental part different materials were tested in measuring box connected to horizontal radial channel of VR-1 nuclear reactor and their influence on neutron flux was measured. Tested samples were non-oriented carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, alumina nanowires, oriented carbon nanotubes with several angles of rotation and these samples were compared with results of graphite.
