Abstract

The analysis of hydro geological and geothermic conditions of Chernobyl exclusion zone is carried out. The analysis showed that a geothermal heat pump technology is the most available for this area. Thus a heat groundwater of upper layer of the Earth is low-grade heat source. There is proposed the variant of the reduction of natural gas consumption of the existing boiler, located in the town of Chernobyl, through the use of geothermal heat plant. The productive aquifer is selected; its operational parameters are defined on the basis of field tests. The forecast heat output of one well equipped in the Eocene aquifer, considering the use of geothermal heat pump “water-water” depending on the flow rate will be 0.1-0.5 MW.
