Resumen
This work proposed the application of system engineering methods to identify
organizations vital for society, seeking development and well-being. System
engineering requires the identification of blocks (or systems), identification of
their service functions, identification of states, identification of required quality
and identification of constraints. Analyzing modern societies, vital functions
were identified and countries behavior was modeled, identifying their
states. In this context, nuclear power was found to be fundamental for development
and defense because of its inherent advantages for military naval
purposes at war. Another striking conclusion is that nuclear power is the best
solution for country energy security, more than to avoid climate changes, but
to help the nation to resist climate changes. A solution to mitigate the high
overnight costs of nuclear power was also proposed. It was demonstrated qualitatively
that the adoption of dual purpose mobile nuclear power plants military
performances, economic development and risks management.
