Research of Water Body Diffusion Condition in Near Field of Inland Nuclear Power Plants in China

Abstract:

With the increase in demand for electricity in inland provinces because of economic growth, construction of inland nuclear power plant (npp) has become a trend. Inland npps discharge into the water bodies where may be some drinking water sources downstream, so the impact of radioactive liquid effluent released from inland npps is far greater than that come from coastal npps, and it is necessary to know the hydrodynamic characteristics of the water bodies clearly. A proposed inland npp near the Yangtze River and another near a reservoir were simulated by Cormix respectively. Then analyse the simulation results and suggest to use diffusers to help to initial mixing of contaminants in near field.
