Comparison between dispersed nuclear power plants and a nuclear energy center at a hypothetical site on Kentucky Lake, Tennessee. Volume I. Summary

Abstract

In analyzing the surrogate sites certain assumptions were made, one being that the technology used in the large NECs was the same as that in 4-and 10-unit plants. This caused certain effects, such as eutrophication and silting, to be much greater at a 40-unit plant than at a 4-unit plant.
