Consideration on hydrological conditions related to environment for sitting of nuclear power plants
Xu Xu · China Nuclear Power · 2010
With reference to relevant requirements of regulations and standards for domestic and foreign nuclear power plant siting, the hydrological parameters related to environment were selected from the flood, water intake, drainage and groundwater.The advantages and disadvantages were compared respectively in terms of site security, construction investment and environmental radiation effects.In flood, the difference between NPP floor elevation and DBF level was considered.In water intake conditions, the stability of beaches, water depth conditions, water quantity, water trunk length, the average sediment concentration of water and the allocation of water resources were considered.In drainage conditions, water dispersion characteristics and the size of the receiving water body were considered.In groundwater conditions, hydro-geological unit independence and groundwater exploitation were considered.
