Abstract

The objective of this research is to analyze whether nuclear energy can contribute to the generation of electric power in a sustainable way in Brazil. The study was accomplished starting from a bibliographical and documental research of the energy sector, with a study of costs and environmental impacts in the process of electric power generation, in nuclear power plants. The emission of gases in the atmosphere is elevated, and one of the main causes of climatic changes is coal plants. In the case of nuclear power plants the emission is already controlled, not affecting the environment and human health. Countless improvements are still necessary so that it can become a viable alternative, solving problems of shortage of raw materials, becoming a potential generating source of electric power, not putting at risk the survival of humanity and guaranteeing the preservation of natural resources.
