Paley, I. (Electrarne Bohunice, Bohunice (Slovak Republic))

Abstract

Experience with nuclear district heating in the Slovak Republic is reported. The heating system of the town of Trnava is supplied by the Bohunice NPP and conventional sources. Construction of the hot water heating system from the Bohunice NPP began in 1983. Commercial operation began on 10 December 1987. Heat delivery has gradually increased from 478 TJ in 1988, to 1,104 TJ in 1995. The heat cost is low, resulting in an increasing number of consumers.
