The future of nuclear power has been widely discussed by the scientific community and the public, which is explained by the high potential of peaceful nuclear technologies in providing mankind with affordable energy, preserving the climate, developing industry, medicine, science, and education. The materials of the study are devoted to assessing the impact of nuclear power on modern challenges and achieving indicators that are reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals. The paper uses the provisions of the intersystem interaction theory, system models for managing basic target indicators, methods of correlation, regression, autoregression analysis. The study confirmed the positive impact of nuclear power on the integral indicators of sustainable development. Considering the resource constraints, the preferred scenario for nuclear power development was substantiated, and its impact on achieving the integral indicators of the Sustainable Development Goals was assessed.
