Abstract
Sustainability as a multifaceted and holistic concept is analyzed. Sustainability involves human relationship with elements such as natural environment, economy, power, governance, education and technology with the ultimate purpose of carrying forward an ever-advancing civilization. The Fixed Bed Nuclear Reactor (FBNR) is an innovative, small, simple in design, inherently safe, non-proliferating, and environmentally friendly concept that its deployment can generate energy in a sustainable manner contributing to the prosperity of humanity. The development of FBNR will provide electricity as well as desalinated water through a simple but advanced technology for the developing, as well as developed countries. FBNR is environmentally friendly due to its inherent safety and the convenience of using its spent fuel as the source of radiation for irradiation purposes in agriculture, industry, and medicine. Politically, if a ping pong game brought peace between China and USA, a program of development of FBNR supported by the peace loving international community can become a more mature means to bring peace among certain apparently hostile nations who crave sustainable energy, desalinated water and simple advanced technology.
Highlights
The rapidly growing world population desiring an ever increasing standard of living while living onEarth with limited natural resources and having environmental limitations, make the subject of sustainability of utmost importance
Before the advent of the industrial revolution and the process of mass production, the production to supply consumer goods to the peoples was the essential basis of the economic systems
The materialistic basis of production may be replaced by the spiritual basis of service and cooperation; thereby, educating people that work performed in the spirit of service to humanity is of highest merit in the society, and it is equivalent to the act of worship in religious terms
Summary
Earth with limited natural resources and having environmental limitations, make the subject of sustainability of utmost importance. Before the advent of the industrial revolution and the process of mass production, the production to supply consumer goods to the peoples was the essential basis of the economic systems. In those conditions even slavery was justified to supply the necessary goods to the populations. It is important to obtain a deep understanding of sustainability that involves the nature of human beings and their conformity with the natural environment This will enable us to adopt an adequate system of governance to avoid bringing misery to future generations, but on the contrary, to build a society where we can secure for the future generations the conditions that can guarantee them true prosperity
