FIR-REA: Fission Reactors / Reactor Concept

Brief Description of Technology The field of application is electric and thermal energy output in coastal areas. PAES is a non self-propelled vessel. The plant consists of two APPU of the KLT-40 type, a steam-turbine facility, an electric power facility, and servicing and general facility systems. The floating nuclear plant is being created for the first time.

The plant can be used for two purposes, electric and thermal energy output: - electric power in the condensation mode, MW-70; - electric power in the heating mode, MW-60; - at heat release, 6 cal/hr-50.

In developing APVC, the domestic and foreign experience of reactor construction and sea water desalination has been used. The design experience and successful multiyear operation of Russian nuclear-powered ice-breakers with a similar APPU KLT-40 is assumed as a basis. The reactor plant safety level fully meets the contemporary normative requirements for nuclear power plants that have decreased restrictions than for those located near populated areas.

Engineers and candidates and doctors of science (nuclear power, sea water, desalination, and ship-building specialists) headed by RAS academician F.M.Mitenkov took part in the plant design.

Legal Aspects The design is protected by Russian patents.

Special Facilities in Use and Their Specifications None.

Scientific Papers There are a great number of publications in various journals including those in “Atomic Energy,” “Marine,” etc., as well as in the proceedings of science and technology conferences, symposiums (including IAEA), seminars, etc.

FIR-OTH: Fission Reactors / Other

Brief Description of Technology APVC is a non self-propelled vessel with a two-reactor nuclear power plant of the KLT-40 type. The distilled or inverse and osmotic desalination plant is foreseen as a desalination plant. The station can be used for two purposes: fresh water and electric energy output.

Capacity for desalinated water: - by the distilling method, 80 000 t/day - by the method of inversion, up to 320 t/day.

In developing APVC, domestic and foreign experience of reactor construction and sea water desalination were used. The experience in design and successful multiyear operation of the Russian nuclear-powered ice-breakers with a similar APPU KLT-40, the desalination plants which have been operating in AKTAU (Kazakhstan), and other installations is assumed as a basis.

The reactor plant safety level fully meets the contemporary normative requirements for nuclear power plants, which lifts restrictions compared to plants located near populated areas.

Engineers and candidates and doctors of science (nuclear power, sea water, desalination, and ship-building specialists) headed by RAS academician F.M.Mitenkov took part in the plant design.

Legal Aspects The design is protected by Russian patents.

Special Facilities in Use and Their Specifications No.

Scientific Papers There are a great number of publications in various journals including ones in “Atomic Energy,” “Marine,” etc., as well as in the proceedings of science and technology conferences, symposiums (including IAEA), seminars, etc.
