摘要

Our dependency on energy is so vital that it makes it difficult to imagine how humans can live on our planet earth without it.The demand for electricity,for example,is directly related to the growth of the population worldwide,and presently,to meet this demand,we need both renewable and nonrenewable energy.While nonrenewable energy has its shortcomings(negative impact on climate change,for example),renewable energy is not enough to address the ever-changing demand for energy.One way to address this need is to become more innovative,use technology more effectively,and be aware of the costs associated with different sources of renewable energy.In the case of nuclear power plants,new innovative centered around small modular reactors(SMRs)of generation 4th of these plants make them safer and less costly to own them as well as to protect them via means of cyber-security against any attack by smart malware.Of course,understanding the risks and how to address them is an integral part of the study.Natural sources of energy,such as wind and solar,are suggesting other innovating technical approaches.In this article,we are studying these factors holistically,and details have been laid out in a book by the authors’second volume of series title as Knowledge Is Power in Four Dimensions under Energy subtitle.
