Summary
Progress in identifying costs, and in particular operating costs, associated with the use of various cooling systems for reducing the thermal impact from new base-load steam electric power plants is reported. Costs for a single, hypothetical river site are compared. The essential methodology and preliminary results are summarized below. A 1200 MWe nuclear plant and an 800 MWe fossil fuel plant were studied. Open cycle diffusers, cooling ponds, mechanical and natural draft evaporative towers and mechanical draft dry towers were considered for both plants. A set of models was developed to optimize the components of each cooling system based on the local meteorological and hydrological conditions at the site in accordance with a fixed demand, scalable plant concept. This concept allows one to compare the costs of producing the same net power from each plant/cooling system.
