The NRC considered the spent fuel risk to be small compared to the risk from accidents involving the reactor core. The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 compelled the NRC to release an environmental impact statement for spent fuel storage in August 1979. The NRC reaffirmed its conviction that the "storage of spent fuel in water pools is a well established technology, and under the static conditions of storage repre­ sents a low environmental impact and low potential risk to the health and safety of the public."2 The NRC recognized that certain actions had eroded the basis for its origi­ nal spent fuel risk analysis: after reprocessing was eliminated, utilities had expanded spent fuel storage capacities at nuclear power plants and disposal had been indefinitely deferred.

  • AERATION-BASIN HEAT LOSS by S. N. Talati1 and M. K. Stenstrom,2 Member, ASCE
    AERATION-BASIN HEAT LOSS By S. N. Talati1 and M. K. Stenstrom,2 Member, ASCE ABSTRACT: Recent developments in wastewater aeration systems have focused on aeration efficiency and minimum energy cost. Many other operating characteristics are ignored. The impact of aeration system alternatives on aeration-basin temper­ ature can be substantial, and design engineers should include potential effects in evaluation of alternatives. To predict aeration-basin temperature and its influence on system design, previous research has been surveyed and a spreadsheet-based computer model has been developed. Calculation has been improved significantly in the areas of heat loss from evaporation due to aeration and atmospheric radia­ tion. The model was verified with 17 literature-data sets, and predicts temperature with a root-mean-squared (RMS) error of 1.24° C for these sets. The model can be used to predict aeration basin temperature for plants at different geographical locations with varying meteorological conditions for surface, subsurface, and high- purity aeration systems. The major heat loss is through evaporation from aeration, accounting for as much as 50%. Heat loss from surface aerators can be twice that • of an equivalent subsurface system. Wind speed and ambient humidity are im­ portant parameters in determining aeration-basin temperature. INTRODUCTION The recent emphasis on high-efficiency, low-energy consumption aeration systems has increased the use of fine-bubble, subsurface aeration systems, almost to the exclusion of all other types. Design engineers are choosing this technology over others because of very low energy costs. A factor that is usually not considered is heat loss. Different types of aeration systems can have very different heat losses, which result in different aeration-basin temperatures.

'John-:' INTRODUCTION Thermal pollution has come to mean the detrimental effects of unnatural temperature changes in a natural body of water, caused by the discharge of industrial cooling water. The electric power industry accounts for over 80% of the cooling water used, so this discussion will focus mainly on that industry. So great are the electric power requirements of this nation and the resultant need for cooling water, it is estimated that at certain times of year, the electric power utilities require 50% of the total fresh water runoff for cooling. At the present time, roughly 85% of the electric power in this country is produced by steam power plants, the remainder by hydroelectric plants.

Forbes Vice President Operations Arkansas Nuclear One Entergy Operations, Inc. 1448 S.R. 333 Russellville, AR 72801-0967 SUBJECT: ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NRC SAFETY SYSTEM DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE CAPABILITY INSPECTION REPORT 0500313/2005008; 0500368/2005008 Dear Mr. Forbes: On June 24, 2005, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2, facility. The enclosed Safety System Design and Performance Capability inspection report documents the findings, which were discussed with you and other members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection. This inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission’s rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. The team reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities and interviewed personnel. The report documents four findings that were evaluated under the risk significance determination process as having very low safety significance (Green). The NRC has also determined that violations were associated with three of these findings. The violations are being treated as noncited violations because they are of very low safety significance and because they have been entered into your corrective action program consistent with Section VI.A of the Enforcement Policy. If you contest the violations or the significance of these noncited violations, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of the inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulator Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, U.S.

A simple mathematical model of a cooling pond is used to scan weather data to determine the period of the record for which the most adverse pond temperature or rate of evaporation would occur . Once the most adverse conditions have been determined, the peak pond temperature can be calculated . Several simple mathematical models of ponds are described; these could be used to determine peak pond temperature, using the identified meteorological record . Evaporative water loss may be found directly from the scanning a simp le and conservative heat-and-material balance . by Methodology by which short periods of onsite data can compared with offsite records developed , so that the adequacy ofbe th e offsite datalonger pond performance iscomputations can be established . for iii CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT.. .. .. i ii . .. .. x SYMBO LS. i I NTRODUCT I ON. 1. 1 2.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate and analyse the effectiveness and function of each point in Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) DMP Company in lower waste water parameters from fat fit until the pond of electricity and provide recommendations for improvement. The research method used is a survey of the field and laboratory test. The number of samples is 11 fruits and sampling point specified by proposing sampling. The data has been analysed with the descriptive method by referring to a standard water discharged from the. The results of the study showed that the DMP Company own wastewater quantity and type of pond is sufficient quantity, but the quality still needs to be done to improve the management of the good. The occurrence of fluctuations in the value parameter of liquid waste water in the ponds that should go down in significance due to the ponds is not functioning optimally, especially cooling pond, facultative pond, anaerobic, aerobic and sedimentation pond.
