Abstract
A computational model was developed earlier for 2 units of Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) operational at Kaiga Atomic Power Station (KAPS) to understand the thermal plume behaviour in the Kadra reservoir wherein the hot water from the plant condensers is discharged. The model was successfully validated against the site data. The same model has now been extended for analyzing the thermal plume bahaviour in case of 4 NPP units as well as 6 NPP units operational at the same site. The present paper briefly describes details of the studies along with the results of earlier study to understand the overall behavior of thermal plume in Kadra reservoir.
Kurzfassung
Ein Computermodell wurde kürzlich entwickelt für 2 Einheiten des Kaiga Kernkraftwerks (KAPS) um das Verhalten der Wärmeableitungen im Kadra Reservoir zu verstehen, in dem das heiße Wasser aus den Kraftwerkskondensatoren entsorgt wird. Dieses Modell, das erfolgreich validiert wurde mit den Daten vor Ort aus früheren Studien, wurde jetzt erweitert zur Analyse des Verhaltens der Wärmeableitungen der 4 bzw. 6 in Betrieb befindlichen Einheiten des Kernkraftwerks. Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt Einzelheiten der Studie zusammen mit den Ergebnissen der voran gegangenen Untersuchung, um so das Verhalten der Wärmeableitungen im Kadra Reservoir insgesamt besser zu verstehen.
