Shore-based nuclear desalination power complex based on a transportable reactor unit with a SVBR-75/100 reactor

The exhaustion and pollution of water sources is already making it difficult to supply water to the public, industry, and agriculture in many regions of the world. It is expected that by 2025 two thirds of the Earth's population will have to live under conditions with a moderate or serious lack of water. The most logical and basic solution to the problem of supplying water to mankind is to obtain fresh water by desalinating sea water. Desalinating sea water is an energy-intensive technology. The implementation of this technology requires powerful sources of heat and/or electricity. This article examines a variant of the use of a SVBR-75/100 reactor as a component of a shore-based nuclear desalination power-generating complex based on a transportable unit, and its technical and economic characteristics are presented.
