Description

After reviewing the means of fighting biological pollution of cooling water circuits in nuclear power stations, the authors describe the chlorination treatment methods used by EDF. This deals with the massive shock chlorination of the cooling towers and the continuous low-level chlorination of coastal nuclear power stations. In both areas, the Research and Development Board of EDF has carried out and encouraged research with the aim of improving circuit protection, while still protecting the aquatic eco-system against damage that might be caused by waste chlorinated water

Abstract (French)

Apres avoir passe en revue les moyens de lutte contre les salissures biologiques applicables aux circuits d'eau de refrigeration des centrales thermiques, on decrit les traitements par chloration adoptes par EDF. Il s'agit de la chloration choc des aerorefrigerants et de la chloration en continu a faible niveau des circuits de centrales thermiques cotieres. Dans ces deux domaines, la Direction des Etudes et Recherches d'EDF a realise et suscite des etudes visant a ameliorer la protection des circuits tout en protegeant l'ecosysteme aquatique contre les dommages que pourraient occasionner les rejets d'eau chloree
