Abstract
A study is performed to analyze the thermal performance of a cooling reservoir of an existing nuclear power plant with the addition of two new units. For the analysis, a one-dimensional multi-layer computer program is used. The program simulates the transient response of the cooling pond under imposed heat loads for the site historical meteorological conditions and plant operating conditions for specified pond characteristics. These results are used to investigate different condenser/circulating water system design parameters and determine the optimum parameters for the cooling water system for the expansion of the nuclear plant.
