Nuclear power in Austria

History st organisation for research in nuclear power st organisation for research in nuclear power st study reactor in Seibersdorf st study reactor in Seibersdorf 1962/63 study reactors in Vienna and Graz 1962/63 study reactors in Vienna and Graz

History construction 1st nuclear power plant in Zwentendorf (730 MW) construction 1st nuclear power plant in Zwentendorf (730 MW) 1976 energy concept reached 3 nuclear power plants 1976 energy concept reached 3 nuclear power plants 1978 referendum against nuclear power with 50,40% preventing the start of the already made nuclear power plant Zwentendorf 1978 referendum against nuclear power with 50,40% preventing the start of the already made nuclear power plant Zwentendorf

History 1978 law against using nuclear power 1978 law against using nuclear power 1986 Chernobyl disaster and the end of political efforts for using nuclear power 1986 Chernobyl disaster and the end of political efforts for using nuclear power Cost of Zwentendorf 1bn € Since Chernobyl a big majority in Austria is afraid of nuclear power!

Power plants in Austria

Water power River power plant >10 MW Danube, Enns, Inn, Salzach, Drau, Mur

Water power Reservoir power station >10 MW Situated in the Alps

Power generation and consumption in Austria

Import – export trend Austria [GWh]

Pro nuclear power Increasing cost of oil and gas Increasing cost of oil and gas Run out of fossil fuel reserves Run out of fossil fuel reserves Less greenhouse gas emissions Less greenhouse gas emissions Known technology Known technology

Contra nuclear power Possibility for an accident Possibility for an accident Final disposal for nuclear waste Final disposal for nuclear waste Expensive Expensive Greenhouse gas reduction is not high enough Greenhouse gas reduction is not high enough

Future Austria In Austria it‘s impossible to build a nuclear power station because of the strong refusal from the people. Austria must increase the budget for research of new alternative energy and saving energy.

Future worldwide I think now we have no other possibility, we must use nuclear power, but for the Future we must find a better way. No safe and clean energy → no future for the mankind!
