<br /> <br />~ <br />00 <br />00 <br />~ <br /> <br />southern California coast which could be used for large-scale <br /> <br />nuclear desalting plants after 1980. This conclusion is based <br /> <br />'. ~ - <br /> <br />upon geologic information, consideration of waste brine disposal <br /> <br />problems, projected population distributions, reactor siting <br /> <br />cri.teria, and the assumption .that credit ean be take.n fln" <br /> <br />engineered safeguards. <br /> <br />Particular attention wbuld be direeted to the possibility of <br /> <br />siting on an offshore, man-made island. Consideration bf offshore <br /> <br />siting would increase significantly tho number of potential sites. <br /> <br />Nuclear Reactors and Turbine-Generators--The estimat"s of <br /> <br />costs for the nuclear reactors are based upon information provided <br /> <br />by the Atomic Energy Conunission. The reactor concept used is <br /> <br />based upon a projected level of technology for breeder type <br /> <br />re1lctors for about 1995. The assumed timing o'f the reactor <br /> <br />installations i~ keyed to the staging of augmentation water <br /> <br />deliveries in years 1990, 2000, and 2010. Replacement plants <br /> <br />will also be required at the end of the 3D-year service life <br /> <br />for each dual-purpose plant. <br /> <br />While it is recognized that the full benefits of 1995 <br /> <br />technology will not be available for the first-stage installation, <br /> <br />the same reactor costs have been used throughout the study period <br /> <br />to simplify the analysis. Since two of the three, installation <br /> <br />stages and all the replacement reactors will be built after 1995 <br /> <br />and will have the advantage of further technological improvementa, <br /> <br />it was considered that the 1995 assumptions adequately represent <br /> <br />16 <br />
