The Polish government has made a decision to build a nuclear power plant (NPP) in the South Baltic coastal zone. This means that three major types of structures will be located in the nearshore: (1) breakwaters and a wharf where ships may dock to load and unload cargo (harbor), (2) seawalls protecting the shore against erosion and storm surge floods, and (3) an underwater piping system for cold water intake and heated water discharge. This study determines the dominant directions and rate of sediment transport for the coastline section in the vicinity of the projected Polish NPP (ca. 100,000 m3/year), as well as assesses current changes at this coastline location on the basis of field measurements and mathematical modeling.

The general layout and design of a nuclear power plant is an important component of its design. This study purports to explore the feasibility of developing related geographical database management technology and applying specialized analysis tools for GIS by using 3-D modeling technology and taking engineering requirements of the layout and design of a nuclear power plant into consideration. A case study has been developed which introduces GIS database management and application based on an actual domestic nuclear power plant. By comparison and optimization of the GIS application system, the study proved that this method can assist planners in designing nuclear power plants, and ultimately improves the safety and efficiency of nuclear power plant construction and operation.

In nuclear power plant construction scheduling, a project is generally defined by its dependent preparation time, the time required for construction, and its reactor installation time. The issues of multiple construction teams and multiple reactor installation teams are considered. In this paper, a hierarchical particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed to solve the nuclear power plant construction scheduling problem and minimize the occurrence of projects failing to achieve deliverables within applicable due times and deadlines.
