Epistemic theorizing must begin with experimental approach where we are able to maintain ethical inquiry and innovation. Five warrants:
A) Analytic
B) Analytic
C) Analytic
D) Analytic
E) Analytic
Therefore, the standard is consistency with pragmatic experimentation, meaning giving ourselves the ability to experiment, inquire, and innovate with means to solve our problems.
First, nuclear energy allows experimentation. OECD 07:
Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development, Nuclear Energy Agency. “Innovation in Nuclear Energy Technology” 2007 SA-IB
Considering the world energy prospects and related sustainability constraints (economic, environmental and social), nuclear energy is an option to meet the increasing global future energy needs in a “sustainable” manner. The current status of nuclear technology shows a high degree of compliance with sustainability criteria and excellent performance compared to other energy alternatives. However, there are still issues of public concern regarding a large-scale deployment of nuclear energy that can be significantly addressed by innovative approaches. This underscores the need for nuclear innovation. Nuclear technology has considerable potential for innovation in comparison to existing nuclear power plants to maintain and strengthen the safety of nuclear installations, to implement power uprates and to achieve higher efficiency, which imply more stress on materials and components; and to optimise costs, both of operation and fuel cycle. This potential is particularly important given the upcoming challenges regarding closure of the nuclear fuel cycle, and penetration of the heat market with nuclear systems of the fourth generation. With regard to a stronger future deployment of nuclear energy, innovative solutions are sought in such domains as resource preservation and minimisation of waste, practical elimination of catastrophic events outside the plant, maintenance of economic competitiveness, reduction of financial risks, penetration of new energy sectors, and exclusion of misuse of nuclear materials. Also RandD on and application of innovative solutions is an excellent means to attract talented young scientists and engineers and to retain them in the nuclear business.
