| Abstract | ||
| The nuclear energy option is one of the alternative options to meet the desires of society; Being an ideal source that can contribute to achieving sustainable electricity, in addition to its close association with various fields of sustainable development and its dimensions; The assessment of sustainability is an indicator that determines the quality of technology and how to integrate it into the electricity mix. It is very important to identify and follow up more sustainable energy options in order to maximize the welfare of society, the environment and the economy, and in light of this, to preserve the environmental processes operating in renewable production systems and use them as an effective catalyst to advance the pace of sustainable development. A single nuclear station provides about a thousand job opportunities, in addition to increasing the demand for local services. Reports indicated that every dollar used to build a nuclear station brings three dollars to the country's economy, and the amount of electricity consumption reflects the state of economic development; Sustainable development is a triangle consisting of energy, environment and economy, and meeting a large part of the demand for electricity using nuclear technology has clear benefits in the field of trade, employment and environmental benefits. Therefore, diversification of the energy mix is an absolute necessity to maintain the domestic growth of the economy while ensuring the security of the national income resulting from its oil exports. The right of the state to possess nuclear energy to achieve national sovereignty and to use it peacefully depends on the development of its capabilities and the development of its infrastructure in the nuclear field, and the transfer of science and technology is one of the basic ways to accelerate the social and economic development of developing countries. Securing those needs requires the internationalization of nuclear programs through international cooperation. | ||
