Abstract

The problem of atomic energy use in European countries before and after Fukusima-1 catastrophe is discussed. The majority of European countries consider the use of atomic energy as reasonable alternative to increasing rejection of carbonic acid into atmosphere and to the risk of global warming. Germany is against atomic energetics, but a few other high technology European countries continue building of atomic stations.
