The discussion revolves around locating the book "VVER-1200: Evolution of a Classic," which is important for research related to VVER-1200 reactors. The conversation touches on aspects of nuclear power plant design, thermodynamic models, and operational considerations in different climatic conditions.
Participants generally agree on the importance of the book and the relevance of coolant temperatures to nuclear power plant efficiency, but there is no consensus on the availability of the book or the specifics of the thermodynamic models discussed.
Limitations include the lack of specific details regarding the book's availability and the assumptions made about the relationship between coolant temperatures and thermodynamic efficiency in various climates.
It seems that the text is available from Rosatom.Alex A said:This might be what you are looking for? This seems to be an English version.
Most of the NPPs currently operational are situated in the colder parts of the globe, having average coolant water temperatures in the range of 4–15 °C. The prominent manufacturers of nuclear reactors like the USA, Russia, France, China, the UK, etc. are also from the cold region. Interestingly, a large number of developing countries pursuing nuclear power are situated in the tropical region. The available reservoir water temperature is usually in the range of 28–32 °C for the tropical region, much higher than that of the colder region. This higher coolant temperature has a significant effect on the selection of condenser pressure, and thus, on the overall thermodynamic efficiency of any thermal power plant
