Negara Negara Asia Yang Menggunakan Nuklir

5 Negara Asia Pengguna Nuklir

---

 Energi nuklir mulai dikembangkan pada tahun 1940-an oleh Amerika Serikat guna memenangkan Perang Dunia II.
 Penggunaan energi nuklir didasarkan dari persamaan Einstein (E=mc2), dan pertama kali dikembangkan oleh FisikawanRobert Oppenheimer sebagai pimpinan proyek bom atom.
 setelah tahun 1950-an, energi nuklir digunakan untuk tujuan sipil yakni sebagai pembangkit tenaga listrik.
 Hal ini dikarenakan efisiensi dari pembangkit listrik tenaga nuklir (PLTN) cukup tinggi terutama dengan massa kecil (‘bahan bakar’) dapat menghasilkan energi besar.

Inilah Negara Negara Yang Mengunakan Nuklir : 

       Jepang 

Nuclear Power in Japan

 Japan needs to import some 80% of its energy requirements. 
 Its first commercial nuclear power reactor began operating in mid 1966, and nuclear energy has been a national strategic priority since 1973. 
 The country's 54 reactors provide some 30% of the country's electricity and this is expected to increase to at least 40% by 2017. 
 Japan has a full fuel cycle set-up, including enrichment and reprocessing of used fuel for recycle. 

Korea Selatan 

Nuclear Power in South Korea

 South Korea is set to become a major world nuclear energy country, exporting technology. It won a $20 billion contract to supply four nuclear rectors to UAE.
 Nuclear energy is a strategic priority for South Korea and capacity is planned to increase by 56% to 27.3 GWe by 2020, and then to 35 GWe by 2030.
 Today 21 reactors provide almost 40% of South Korea's electricity from 18.7 GWe of plant. 

    India 

Nuclear Power in India

 India has a flourishing and largely indigenous nuclear power program and expects to have 20,000 MWe nuclear capacity on line by 2020 and 63,000 MWe by 2032. It aims to supply 25% of electricity from nuclear power by 2050. 
 Because India is outside the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty due to its weapons program, it was for 34 years largely excluded from trade in nuclear plant or materials, which has hampered its development of civil nuclear energy until 2009. 
 Due to these trade bans and lack of indigenous uranium, India has uniquely been developing a nuclear fuel cycle to exploit its reserves of thorium. 
 Now, foreign technology and fuel are expected to boost India's nuclear power plans considerably. All plants will have high indigenous engineering content. 
 India has a vision of becoming a world leader in nuclear technology due to its expertise in fast reactors and thorium fuel cycle.

    China 

Nuclear Power in China

 Mainland China has 13 nuclear power reactors in operation, more than 25 under construction, and more about to start construction soon. 
 Additional reactors are planned, including some of the world's most advanced, to give more than a ten-fold increase in nuclear capacity to at least 80 GWe by 2020, 200 GWe by 2030, and 400 GWe by 2050. 
 China is rapidly becoming self-sufficient in reactor design and construction, as well as other aspects of the fuel cycle.

  Pakistan

Nuclear Power in Pakistan

 Pakistan has a small nuclear power program, with 425 MWe capacity, but plans to increase this substantially.
 Pakistan's nuclear weapons capabilities of has arisen independently of the civil nuclear fuel cycle, using indigenous uranium.
 Because Pakistan is outside the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, due to its weapons program, it is largely excluded from trade in nuclear plant or materials, which hinders its development of civil nuclear energy.
