introduction
Reference Data Series No. 1 (RDS-1) is an annual publication — currently in its thirtieth edition — containing estimates of energy, electricity and nuclear power trends up to the year 2050.
RDS-1 starts with a summary of the situation of nuclear power in IAEA Member States as of the end of 2009. The data on nuclear power presented in Tables 1 and 2 are based on actual statistical data collected by the IAEA’s power Reactor Information System (pRIS). Energy and electricity data for 2009, however, are estimated, since the latest available information from the united Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs is for 2007.
population data originate from the world population prospects (2008 revision), published by the population Division of the united Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, and the 2009 values again are estimates.
As in the past, projections of future needs of energy, electricity and nuclear power are presented as low and high estimates encompassing the inherent uncertainties involved in projecting trends. The RDS-1 estimates should be viewed as very general growth trends whose validity must be constantly subjected to critical review.
Beginning with the 30th edition of this publication, however, the end-point of the estimates is extended up to the year 2050 (instead of 2030). Looking beyond 2030 is prompted by the interest expressed by numerous Member States currently without nuclear power in adding nuclear energy to their future national energy supply mixes. Given the lead times in planning and implementing nuclear power programmes, a fair share of these are likely to result in actual plant commissioning and grid connection after 2030.
Many international, national and private organizations routinely engage in energy demand and supply projections, including nuclear power. These projections are based on a multitude of different assumptions and aggregating procedures, which make a straightforward comparison and synthesis very difficult. The basic differences refer to such fundamental input assumptions as:

introduction
Reference Data Series No. 1 (RDS-1) is an annual publication — currently in its thirtieth edition — containing estimates of energy, electricity and nuclear power trends up to the year 2050.
RDS-1 starts with a summary of the situation of nuclear power in IAEA Member States as of the end of 2009. The data on nuclear power presented in Tables 1 and 2 are based on actual statistical data collected by the IAEA’s power Reactor Information System (pRIS). Energy and electricity data for 2009, however, are estimated, since the latest available information from the united Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs is for 2007.
population data originate from the world population prospects (2008 revision), published by the population Division of the united Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, and the 2009 values again are estimates.
As in the past, projections of future needs of energy, electricity and nuclear power are presented as low and high estimates encompassing the inherent uncertainties involved in projecting trends. The RDS-1 estimates should be viewed as very general growth trends whose validity must be constantly subjected to critical review.
Beginning with the 30th edition of this publication, however, the end-point of the estimates is extended up to the year 2050 (instead of 2030). Looking beyond 2030 is prompted by the interest expressed by numerous Member States currently without nuclear power in adding nuclear energy to their future national energy supply mixes. Given the lead times in planning and implementing nuclear power programmes, a fair share of these are likely to result in actual plant commissioning and grid connection after 2030.
Many international, national and private organizations routinely engage in energy demand and supply projections, including nuclear power. These projections are based on a multitude of different assumptions and aggregating procedures, which make a straightforward comparison and synthesis very difficult. The basic differences refer to such fundamental input assumptions as:
• Economic growth;
• Correlation of economic growth and energy use;
• Technology performance and costs;
• Energy resource availability and future fuel prices;
• Energy policy and physical, environmental and economic constraints.
The projections presented in this booklet are based on a compromise among:
• National projections supplied by each country for a recent OECD/NEA study;
• Indicators of development published by the world Bank in its world Development Indicators;
• Global and regional energy, electricity and nuclear power projections made by other international organizations.
More specifically, the estimates of nuclear generating capacity presented in Table 3 are derived from a country by country ‘bottom up’ approach. They are established by a group of experts participating each year in the IAEA’s consultancy on Nuclear Capacity projections and based upon a review of nuclear power projects and programmes in Member States.
The low and high estimates reflect contrasting but not extreme underlying assumptions on the different driving factors that have an impact on nuclear power deployment.
These factors, and the ways they might evolve, vary from country to country. The estimates presented provide a plausible range of nuclear capacity growth by region and worldwide. They are not intended to be predictive nor to reflect the whole range of possible futures from the lowest to the highest feasible.
The low case represents expectations about the future if current trends continued and there were few changes in policies affecting nuclear power other than those already in the pipeline.
This case was explicitly designed to produce a
‘conservative but plausible’ set of projections. Additionally, the low case did not automatically assume that targets for nuclear power growth in a particular country would necessarily be achieved. These assumptions are relaxed in the high case.
The high case projections are much more optimistic, but still plausible and technically feasible. The high case assumes that the current financial and economic crises will be overcome in the not so distant future and past rates of economic growth and electricity demand, especially in the Far East, would essentially resume. In addition, the high case assumes the implementation of stringent policies globally targeted at mitigating climate change.
In the presence of the current financial and economic crises, developing the 2009 and 2010 nuclear power projections posed a considerable challenge. The 2010 projections are based on the rationale that the long lead times associated with the implementation of nuclear power plants may temporarily delay some projects but the underlying fundamentals of population growth, development, demand for electricity, climate change concerns, security of energy supply and the quest for stable electricity generating costs point to continued strong growth in the longer term. worsening and prolonged economic and/or financial difficulties could, however, dramatically affect the projections developed, particularly in the high case.
The data on electricity produced by nuclear power plants is converted to joules based on the average efficiency of a nuclear power plant, i.e. 33%; data on electricity generated by geothermal heat is converted to joules based on the average efficiency of a geothermal power plant, i.e. 10%.
The conversion to joules of electricity generated by hydropower or by the other non-thermal sources such as wind, tide and solar is based on the energy content of the electricity generated (the equivalent of assuming a 100%
efficiency).
The total energy requirement has been calculated by summing the primary energy production, the net energy trade minus changes in international bunkers and domestic stocks.
The values shown in Table 9 refer to primary energy used for the generation of electricity. Owing to differences in conversion efficiencies, the percentage values are different from the shares of electricity generation presented in Tables 1 and 5.
