Ways for increasing the efficiency of nuclear stations application in heat supply systems of towns

Nuclear heat supply stations are intended for provision of populated areas and industrial enterprises with low-potential thermal energy in form of overheated water with temperature of 150 deg C. Special reactor, wherein the primary circuit coolant has low parameters, is the source of thermal power at a nuclear heat supply station. The studies already conducted made it possible to establish that increase in the number of hours of the plant installed thermal capacity utilization constitutes the basic trend in increasing the efficiency of nuclear heat supply stations. 4 figs
