Abstract

Depth restriction, cost, and environmental impact of large fixed breakwaters are a major restriction on the applicability of floating nuclear power stations. Deepwater versions without breakwater were found to be technically feasible by a university-industry study team if technology developed for offshore oil production is applied. Barges and mooring systems capable of withstanding maximum Pacific Coast sea conditions seemed feasible, and the expected barge motions and accelerations were found to be within the range for which even land-based plants are designed. Safety from ship collision was achieved by a new concept which intercepts and halts an approaching ship without damage or spillage of its cargo. Important legal, safety, and environmental considerations in siting offshore power stations were studied.

浮动核电站的深水选址
大型固定防波堤的深度限制、成本和环境影响是浮动核电站适用性的主要制约因素。一个大学-工业研究小组发现,如果应用用于海上石油生产的技术,没有防波堤的深水版本在技术上是可行的。驳船和系泊系统能够承受最大的太平洋海岸海况似乎是可行的,并且预期的驳船运动和加速度被发现在甚至是陆基工厂设计的范围内。船舶碰撞安全是通过一种新的概念来实现的,即拦截和停止接近的船舶而不损坏或溢出其货物。研究了海上电站选址中重要的法律、安全和环境考虑因素。
