REGULATION OF THE THERMAL LOADING BY PAKS NUCLEAR POWER STATION

Abstract

This paper is a survey of the thermal loading caused by the heated cooling water of Paks Nuclear Power Station. It deals with the interrelations of the Danube and the nuclear power plant, and examines the ruling situations from the point of view of hydrology, water temperature and operation. It presents a suggestion for the operation of the cooling system of the power plant that can be applied to reduce the thermal loading during the critical summer period and to observe the water quality regulations of thermal pollution.
