Supply of cold water and heat to the Bushehr nuclear power plant 1 + 2 from a remote central source

The Busher 1 + 2 nuclear power plant, construction of which was halted when site activities had already reached an advanced stage, has nevertheless furnished an impetus to fruitful progress in other areas. The differences as against comparable plants in Germany emanating from conditions prevailing on the site are outlined. System layout and design of the cold-water systems (70 MW 6/120C for equipment not connected to the emergency power supply; 8 x 2.9 MW 6/120C for supplying equipment requiring cold water and connected to the emergency power supply and the air-conditioning and ventilating system connected to the emergency power supply; 2 x 140 MW cold water 17/310C for the nuclear intermediate cooling cycle) and the heating system (12.6 MW for 1800C, supply temperature 1100C) show how site criteria prevailing in Iran, climate and seismic loads were translated into appropriate solutions. The use of the Intikose integrated data processing system, so named by the manufacturer and employed for the first time in a nuclear power plant of this size, furnished a basis for future nuclear power plant projects.
