The article discusses the main prerequisites for the development of nuclear energy in the global econo-my, also defines nuclear energy and discusses the structure of global energy consumption. The article proves that the crucial prerequisite for the development of nuclear energy in the world market is the economic efficiency of nuclear power plants.

The article considers perspectives and institutions for innovative nuclear energy subsector – a small and medium-sized nuclear power plants (SNP). The features of the technologies, prospective sites for their introduction, topics for priority research work, as well as mechanisms for the creation of a new sub-sector of nuclear energy are briefly discussed. The advantages and opportunities of such approach to the energy supply of autonomous and isolated consumers located primarily in remote areas and in the Arctic are indicated. Special attention is paid to the problems of technological and operational safety, economic efficiency, and personnel training. The methodological framework provides a brief integrated description of the possibilities provided by dual-use technologies in solving national economic issues; a list of priority research areas to clarify assessments of the financial and economic efficiency of the SNP subsystem within the Russian nuclear energy industry; as well as proposals for personnel training to ensure a trouble-free and efficient Program implementation process.

Im Zuge der Entwicklungen von Industrie 4.0 werden die umfassendsten Veränderungen für die Industrie seit Jahrzehnten erwartet. Der im Rahmen von Industrie 4.0 zunehmende Einsatz von Sensorik erweitert die Möglichkeiten der Erfassung von Produktionsdaten und damit auch die Anforderungen an bestehende Qualitätsregelungssysteme. Dabei wirft besonders dieser Kontext die Frage auf: „Wie kann die Wirtschaftlichkeit des zu entwickelnden Qualitätsregelungssystems sichergestellt werden?“ Der Artikel beschreibt wie mit dem entwickelten EPA-Modell eine Wirtschaftlichkeitsbewertung von Cyber-Physical Production Systemen (CPPS) umgesetzt werden kann.   In the course of developments in Industry 4.0, the most comprehensive changes for industry in decades are expected. The increasing use of sensors within the framework of Industry 4.0 extends the possibilities of recording production data and thus also the requirements of existing quality control systems. This context in particular raises the following question: „How can the economic efficiency of the quality control system to be developed be ensured? The following article describes how a profitability assessment of CPPS systems can be made with the developed EPA model.

The article is written in the intersection of the fields of regional development and action research, which use different languages when referring to development. The first revolves around innovation revenues, market shares and competitiveness while the second focuses on emancipation, democratisation and empowerment. Based on an experience in Gipuzkoa, Basque Country (Spain), the case used in this paper tells us how a regional government, the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa and eleven county development agencies are collaborating in order to avoid small firms falling behind in digitalisation processes. The main argument is that action research can help construct collaborative governance modes which, as well as helping specific firms become competitive, empower territorial actors as a collective subject that decides on its own future.
