Abstract
Due to the heatwave of past few summer that influenced almost the entire territory of Europe, some reactors of nuclear power stations had to be closed down temporarily in France. This case is not unique and according to the predictions of the specialists, in the future, the times when due to the rise of the air temperature, similar measures will have to be introduced at the time when the need of the population for energy is elevated. A possible stoppage can produce serious consequences. The process of the energy production and thus the whole energy sector is of critical importance that has a specific situation due to the fact that the energy dependence of all other critical infrastructure elements is important. This reliance on the energy can be extended to all areas of life. The production and the energy need of the population have been rising. We need to face the fact that while the energy hunger of the mankind is rising, it goes hand in hand with the narrowing of the possibilities of economic acquisition of energy and with the effect of some energy production methods on the climate. In the long run the energy production needs to be sustainable and at the same time, economical. At the same time the long time climate change will influence the above wishes.
