Energy expert Alexander Perov: The development of atomic energy will help to overcome the upcoming energy deficit

“If we recall, the priority of atomic energy has been talked for a long time,” recalled Alexander Perov, a leading expert at the National Energy Security Fund.

“It was the development of atomic energy that was recognized as one of the main directions of the development of both energy in particular and the innovative development of the country as a whole - it sounded in the speeches of both Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev,” the expert said. “Why is it again about this again? Because the energy of all as a whole - and atomic engineering and scientific development. It is the development of atomic energy. It has such a property as multiplier, that is, if we develop atomic energy, then this gives an effect and impulse to the development and for related sectors of the economy, in particular for the same atomic engineering, therefore, the priority of the development of atomic energy was recognized before the crisis. ”

"The point is that nuclear energy today must be considered in the context of the unfolding struggle for energy conservation and increasing energy efficiency - it is necessary to save the country's natural resources and more rationally use energy," Perov said. "It is atomic energy that gives a certain help in this. We, firstly, diversify our energy balance. Secondly, we can save hydrocarbon raw materials due to the development of atomic energy," he explained.

“At one time, a lot of the so -called“ Cross of Chubais ”was said. Let me remind you that these are two crossing lines, one of which - the output of power - goes down, the other - an increase in energy consumption - goes up, - Purvs said.“ Sooner or later it will be less than necessary for the country's economy. The crisis has slightly delayed these negative trends. After all, the development of energy has long been developing the development of energy. We did not pay due attention, ”he said.

“It is the development of atomic energy that can help us overcome this future energy deficit,” the expert said. “This will contribute to the fact that after Russia begins to leave the crisis, we and our foreign partners will not encounter the fact that our country will not be able to fulfill our obligations to export hydrocarbon raw materials. We release this huge plastis of hydrocarbons through the development of nuclear energy. And we strengthen the export potential of our country, finally, the development of the development of other industries is given - engineering and construction.

“I believe that it is absolutely correct to talk about the priorities of innovative development. Moreover, nuclear energy is a little of the remaining in Russia, which we have an innovative reserve that we can develop both within the country and in foreign markets,” Perov concluded.

We will remind, earlier President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev stated in an interview with the first channel that atomic energy is among the five main priorities in the field of modernization of Russia. “Atomic energy has always been our trump card and which is really capable of changing life for the better in various parts of our country,” Medvedev noted.
