Creation of building plan for nuclear power plants with new-generation units

The general conception of the new-generation unit elaborated by the Energoprojekt corporation is outlined. The internally set aim states that no more than 220 m2 of land per generated MW should be permanently occupied by the power plant (fenced area). Means for achieving this goal are discussed. The study addresses two basic variants which rely on a primary circuit design approaching that of the Temelin NPP, i.e., involving 4 primary circuit circulation loops (Variant I), and on a highly progressive design involving three circulation loops (Variant II). Each variant exists in several subvariants with respect to the technological water cooling system. The basic characteristics of the variants and subvariants are given. (Z.S.)
