Physical Modeling of Suspended Sediment Deposition in Marine Intakes of Nuclear Power Plants

This paper deals with the problems associated with the design and operation of once–through or combined water cooling systems of nuclear power plants using sea water. Suggested refinement techniques of physical modeling of hydraulic processes at the pre–stage using multipurpose hydraulic stand. An example of such a construction of the stand and the experience of its use in the justification of the design decisions of waterworks of energy facilities.
