Conceptual design of water supply systems based on low-power nuclear desalination complex

The concept of environmentally friendly and energy-efficient water supply systems development on the basis of a desalination complex is considered to solve the problem of water deficiency, reduce the ecological load on the environment and provide fresh water to regions in which a lack of fresh water is found out. In the paper, a brand-new hybrid scheme of the water supply system is proposed, with the production of water containing reduced deuterium, based on desalination technology and recirculated water supply (recycling) with the help of membrane and distillation methods, as well as improved pretreatment and water purification technology.
