Nuclear energy is considered to be a promising branch of the entire global energy sector. Changing technological solutions constitute in this regard an important issue. Some of the Western European economies have recently departed from PWR (pressurised water reactor) devices, some of them have focused on researching other types of reactors (such as ITER – International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) designed for nuclear energy of new quality.
