Economics of the cooperation of nuclear power stations with pcwer stations of the common kind was investigated. Thermal storage (especially as a combination of feedwater and pressure-reduction storage in a single accumulator vessel with one turbine) represents an ideal methcd of adapting both types of power plants to the demands of the transmission network and makes possible a considerable reduction of generating costs. Even greater economies resulted from additional steam superheating with fossile fuels. The effects of these measures on the operating cost of the nuclear plant and of orthcdox thermal power stations was demonstrated through examples. (auth) 1 8b54 The CO/sub 2/ circulation plant of the nuclear reactor at Latina is considered to study its transient behavior. A mathematical model of the system supplies a set of dynamic equations which were solved by means of an analog computor; an opening characteristic for the turbine steam inlet valve was suggested so that the transient response to a step input of the system does not depend on the blower speed. In these conditions the parameters which affect the control loop stability may be adjusted. (auth)
