3. Water treatment for demineralized water production
3.1 Demineralized water requirements for plant operation
We will return briefly to the common uses of freshwater for domestic purposes, linked to the presence of people or to the common and less specific industrial activities of nuclear power generation. We will simply give an order of magnitude for this consumption of fresh water from the drinking water network (13 of the 19 plants) or groundwater (4 plants) or the sum of the two (the other 2 plants). Most consumption per power station (2-4 or 6 units) is in the range of 50,000 to 100,000 m 3 /year, which corresponds on average to just over 50 m 3 per day in equivalent for a 900 MW unit (for the higher power units, i.e....
