Abstract
This small booklet provides some indispensable notions to understand the problems related to any energy policy. After a short introduction of the French atomic energy commission (CEA), the following topics are reviewed successively: energy resources, consumption and costs (conversion units, energy equivalence between fossil fuels, petroleum products and uranium, energy counting, calorific value of coals, annual consumption and production from thermal power plants, reserves and production of solid fuels and uranium worldwide, renewable energy consumption and energy independence of European Union countries, evolution of the worldwide energy consumption and population from 1800 to 2020, energy status of the European Union and France, electric power costs), the electric and electro-nuclear power (production, consumption, exports, nuclear share, characteristics of reactors, nuclear fuels management, fuel cycle, uranium needs, laser isotope separation, fuel processing and reprocessing, waste management), energy and environment (Kyoto conference, greenhouse gases and greenhouse effect, CO{sub 2} emissions, radioactive wastes, ultimate wastes generated by a 1000 MWe PWR, effluents produced by nuclear power plants), man and radiations (definitions nd units, radioactive decay, half-life, penetration depth, exposures, radon, natural radioactivity), radioprotection and nuclear safety (national institutions, nuclear safety controls, INES scale), generalities and useful addresses. (J.S.)
