Abstract

Rad je podijeljen na tri dijela. U prvom dijelu opisan je razvoj nuklearne energetike i tendencija budućeg razvoja kao i neki od osnovnih pojmova iz područja nuklearne energetike. U
drugom dijelu izvršena je klasifikacija nuklearnih elektrana prema tipu reaktora. Obrađeno je
devet tipova reaktora u manjoj ili većoj mjeri. Ovdje je naglasak najviše stavljen na tlakovodni
i kipući reaktor kao dva tipa reaktora koji su danas u najvećem broju zastupljeni u nuklearnim elektranama, natrijem hlađeni brzi reaktor također je nešto detaljnije opisan kao najviše
razvijen predstavnik reaktora IV generacije. U trećem dijelu postavljeni su matematički modeli za proračun termodinamičkih efikasnosti parnog kružnog ciklusa tlakovodnog i natrijem
hlađenog reaktora, naposljetku su izračunate i uspoređene termodinamičke efikasnosti.

Abstract (english)

The work is divided into three parts. The first part describes the development of nuclear energy
and the tendency of future development, as well as some of the basic terms in the field of nuclear
energy. In the second part, nuclear power plants were classified according to reactor type.
Nine reactor types were described to a greater or lesser extent. Here, the emphasis is mostly
placed on pressurized water reactor and boiling water reactor as the two types of reactors that
are represented in the largest number in nuclear power plants today, the sodium cooled fast
reactor is also described in more detail as the most developed representative of generation IV
reactors. In the third part, mathematical models for calculating the thermodynamic efficiencies
of the steam cycle of pressurized water and sodium cooled reactors were set, and finally, the
thermodynamic efficiencies were calculated and compared.
