Abstract
There is a current widespread interest in dual-purpose nuclear plants, attributable to successful developments in both the nuclear and desalination fields. During the past year, it has become clear that nuclear power can compete economically with fossil fuel power in many geographical areas. At the same time, parallel strides have been made in the technology and economics of seawater conversion, particularly in distillation processes. These developments have opened the way for consideration of large-scale plants which can supplement both the electrical energy and fresh water needs of large metropolitan areas near the coast. This paper examines specific types of nuclear power plants in combination with desalting plants to establish the relative economic potential of various heat sources for large-scale dual-purpose application.
