Resumo
O setor elétrico brasileiro é dependente das usinas hidrelétricas, sendo muito influenciado pelo
clima. Complementando sua matriz energética, há o uso de usinas termoelétricas a combustíveis
fósseis que geram gases do efeito estufa, usinas eólicas e solares que também são dependentes do
clima e usinas termonucleares, uma fonte confiável e com baixa emissão de poluentes. O Brasil possui
uma das maiores reservas de urânio do mundo e detém a tecnologia para seu enriquecimento com
potencial de expandir o setor, mas com pouco uso tendo apenas duas usinas em funcionamento, Angra
1 e Angra 2. Pouco é conhecido e explicado sobre o funcionamento das termonucleares, influenciando
a opinião pública ser tão contrária a esse tipo de geração, porém as populações vizinhas a usinas
nucleares possuem uma maior aceitação, pois conhecem seu nível de segurança e sabem que sua
presença alavanca a economia, gerando uma melhora social na região. Apesar de algumas entidades
tentarem mostrar que a presença de reatores nucleares representa uma ameaça iminente, os riscos
conhecidos e seus impactos são previstos durante o projeto da usina e monitorados durante sua vida
útil e descomissionamento, reduzindo a chance de contaminação e danos ao meio ambiente.
Familiarizando o leitor aos processos inerentes à vida útil de uma usina nuclear demonstra-se que há
espaço para o crescimento do programa nuclear brasileiro com segurança.
The Brazilian electricity sector is dependent on the hydroelectric plants, being very influenced by the climate. Complementing its energy matrix is the use of thermoelectric power plants for fossil fuels, which generate greenhouse gases, wind and solar plants, which are also climate dependent, and thermonuclear plants, a reliable source with low emission of pollutants. Brazil has one of the largest uranium reserves in the world and has the technology for its enrichment, with potential to expand the sector, but with little use, having only two plants in operation, Angra 1 and Angra 2. Little is known and explained about the influence of public opinion is so contrary to this type of generation, but the populations neighboring nuclear power plants have a greater acceptance because they know their level of security and know that their presence leverages the economy, generating a social improvement in the region. Although some entities try to show that the presence of nuclear reactors poses an imminent threat, known risks and their impacts are anticipated during the design of the plant and monitored during its life and decommissioning, reducing the chance of contamination and damage to the environment. Familiarizing the reader with the processes inherent in the life of a nuclear power plant demonstrates that there is room for the growth of the Brazilian nuclear program safely.
