Abstract
The Polish government has made a decision to build a nuclear power plant (NPP) in the South Baltic coastal zone. This means that three major types of structures will be located in the nearshore: (1) breakwaters and a wharf where ships may dock to load and unload cargo (harbor), (2) seawalls protecting the shore against erosion and storm surge floods, and (3) an underwater piping system for cold water intake and heated water discharge. This study determines the dominant directions and rate of sediment transport for the coastline section in the vicinity of the projected Polish NPP (ca. 100,000 m3/year), as well as assesses current changes at this coastline location on the basis of field measurements and mathematical modeling.

Summary
The first nuclear power plant was connected to the power grid in 1954. There are 442 reactors in operation, with a total net installed capacity of 392,335 MW and 53 reactors under construction with a total net installed capacity of 56,276 MW. More than a quarter of all nuclear power plants are located in the coastal zone of seas and oceans [1]. All nuclear power plants in China, including both the completed ones and those under construction, are coastal plants [2]. Seawater can be used to cool reactors, and sea ports facilitate, among other things, the transport of prefabricated units during construction and of fresh and spent fuel during operation
