MACRO-ENGINEERING ASPECTS OF FLOATING NUCLEAR POWER PLANT SITING

Presents the technical criteria developed by a multidiscipline siting team faced with the task of identifying optimum sites for floating nuclear power plants on the East and Gulf coasts of the U.S. These criteria, weighted in terms of their relative importance, establish a quantitative basis for systematically making appropriate subjective decisions in similar studies. Criteria are defined, the methodology by which they were developed outlined and the way in which they are implemented in site selection decisions explained.
