Abstract
Object and purpose of research. The article discusses in comparison the methods of desalination of seawater and their energy features from the point of view of the feasibility of including a desalination plant in the complex with a floating nuclear power unit. Materials and methods. Based on the analysis of various literary sources, a review of the main methods of nuclear desalination is made. The IAEA DEEP program was used to compare different desalination technologies. Main results. Based on the results of simulating nuclear desalination in the IAEA DEEP program, using the example of the Persian Gulf, preliminary recommendations were drawn up on the use of desalination methods in the joint operation of a desalination plant with a floating nuclear power unit. Conclusion. The integrated complex allows for desalination by both membrane and thermal methods. For the optimal choice of technology, it is necessary to specify the area of deployment and the relative position of the floating nuclear power unit and the desalination plant, and further search for a compromise based on more accurate calculations.
