NUCLEAR DESALINATION PROGRAM ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORTnON ACTIVITIES SPONSORED BY THE ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION FOR PERIOD ENDING OCTOBER 31, 1971

摘要

In the field of nuclear desalting, one important function of the program is to make available to industry, government agencies, and potential desalting plant owners the results of studies as well as generally useful data and techniques that will allow independent evaluations of desalting plant designs and applications. This is accomplished through (1) the development and documentation of general-purpose computer programs for investigating the design, operation, and economics of nuclear power-desalting plants;(2) parametric studies to permit systematic comparisons of methods of pro-ducing power and water using alternative heat sources, evaporators, and coupling systems;(3) conceptual studies of new concepts that may be attractive in ^ satisfying future water and energy requirements;and (4) studies and experimental investigations of the practical control and coupling problems related to the design and operation of dual-purpose plants using light-water reactors.
