60 Years of U: Perspectives on resources, demand, and the evolving role of nuclear energy
Recent years have seen growing global interest in nuclear energy and rising confidence in the sector. For the first time since the early 2000s, there is renewed optimism about the industry’s future. This change is driven by several major factors: geopolitical developments that highlight the need for secure energy supplies, a stronger focus on resilient energy systems, national commitments to decarbonization, and rising demand for clean and reliable electricity.

The linear theory of transport determines the 3 × 1 matrix of dissipative fluxes Ĵr namely, the electric current and the electronic and ionic heat fluxes, in terms of a 3 × 1 matrix of thermodynamic forces Xˆ defined by the electric field and the gradient of the densities and temperatures. The components of the 3 × 3 matrix of tensors Lˆrs of the linear flux-force relations Ĵr = Σ9s=1 LˆrsXˆ define the set of transport coefficients. They are evaluated for an ion-electron magnetized plasma in the framework of the statistical mechanics of charged particles starting from the Landau kinetic equation.
