Identification and qualitative analysis of liquid effluents in the spatial planning stage of a new nuclear power plant projectFackovič Volčanjk, Pia (Avtor) Debelak, Klemen (Avtor) Zupančič, Kaja (Avtor) Žagar, Tomaž (Avtor) JEK2nuclear power plantliquid effluentsradioactive dischargesnon-radioactive dischargesALARA principleeffluent managementregulatory complianceThe planned JEK2 will generate liquid effluents during normal operation, categorised as radioactive and non-radioactive. The radioactive releases will consist mainly of tritium, while other radionuclides will be present only in trace amounts, all below the authorised limits. The non-radioactive effluents, originating from the cooling and service water systems, will be treated by filtration, pH adjustment and biocide neutralisation. The thermal load of the non-radioactive emissions to the Sava will be minimal to negligible levels, as the cooling tower serves as a heat sink. All the effluents from JEK2 will be managed by design through defence in depth: multi-barrier treatment and holdup, controlled storage and release, and comprehensive monitoring under the ALARA principle to keep the impacts low and within the strict regulatory limits.20252026-01-22 15:01:35Neznano96669UDK: 621.311.25COBISS_ID: 265045763DOI: 10.18690/jet.18.3.177-186.2025ISSN pri članku: 1855-5748sl
