Description/Abstract:
OAK RIDGE TENNESSEE...A NUCLEAR POWERED SEA WATER CONVERSION PLANT CAP ABLE OF PRODUCING APPROXIMATELY ONE BILLION GALLONS OF FRESH WATER PER DAY AND MEETING ELECTRIC POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR A CITY OF 5,000,000 P EOPLE MIGHT RESEMBLE THIS ARTISTS CONCEPTION. AS CONCEIVED THE PLANT WOULD BE OPERATED BY THREE NATURAL URANIUM REACTORS AND NINE TURBOGENE RATORS WITH A TOTAL CAPACITY OF 4,500,000 KIL0WATTS. THE REACTORS WOU LD GENERATE STEAM THE STEAM WOULD IN TURN OPERATE THE TURBOGENERATORA TO PRODUCE ELECTRICITY AND FOLLOWING THIS WOULD TRAVEL THROUGH A FLASH EVAPORATOR PLANT TO HEAT THE SEA WATER THUS PERMITTING EXTRACTION OF PURE WATER.
