The general public supports the need for a transition to green power production, most often under-standing by this the use of solar and wind energy. However, it would be a mistake to believe that solar and wind power plants will be able to fully solve the problem of uninterrupted energy supply to all sectors of the economy, due to the instability of generation modes and the scale of production of such energy. Experts in this field argue that the only possible way to solve global energy and environmental problems should be based on the further development of nuclear power industry. Nuclear power engineering is not explicitly presented in the list of national priority projects but is included as a constituent element in the Science project and can contribute to the implementation of such projects as Ecology, Education, and International Cooperation and Export. In the context of the Ecology project, power engineering can play a key role in preventing environmental pollution. Within the framework of the International Cooperation and Export project, it allows high-tech export of fast reactors. The experience of interaction with the interested public, developed and implemented professional training programs will ensure the formation of radiation literacy among young people within the framework of the Education project.
