Abstract:

Planning sites of new nuclear plants expand gradually from the coast to the inland areas,especially in the Yangtze River basin,while China speeds up the construction of nuclear energy,which makes it necessary to improve nuclear power water resources management.This paper takes the USA as the research reference,discusses the historical data of water withdrawal of inland nuclear power plants and water resources guarantee of cooling water source.The data calculation results reveals that it needs no much water withdrawal during the construction period,while during operation period the water quantity needed is related with the type of cooling system.The kind of onethough requires much more water than the recycled ones,and the third generation is similar with the second ones.On the other hand,in this paper we calculated hydrologic characteristic values of water sources of American inland nuclear power plants,the results could provide some references for Chinese nuclear plant construction and the design of the storage tank capacity of low radioactive waste liquid
