Abstract

The work presents the experience in the application of nuclear energy for seawater desalination as a feasible option to be considered to confront the growingshortage of drinkingwater at world level.The referenced works in the lnternational Nuclear InformationSystem database show an overviewof some of the scientificactivitiesrelated to nuclear desalination that are being carried out at present, the main countries and researchers, as well as scientific magazines on this subject. It was concluded that there was an increasing tendency towards the use of desalination and that the results of different studies on nuclear desalination performed by International Atomic Energy Agency showed a diversity of combinations and options to exploit seas.
