A specific feature of thermal power plants (TPP) is the multivariate nature of their intense technogenic impact on the environment, including pollution of air, environmental waters, soils, as well as disturbance of the geologic environment. Besides, TPPs cause thermal, radiation, noise and electromagnetic pollution; they also induce physical littering of the terrain and problems associated with storage of ash waste. Due to the reasons stated above, a comprehensive study of environmental damage zones caused by TPP ...

Atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) dispersion conditions relate to key natural factors that characterize radiation and environmental safety of nuclear power plants (NPPs). Therefore, the said conditions are studied in sufficient detail even at pre-design stages of NPPs construction. Given the ongoing development of nuclear power industry, synthesis of methodological approaches to NPP siting options with due account of atmospheric dispersion conditions is of great interest. Formal pursuit of requirements and recommen...
