Moroz N. Ecological monitoring of heavy metals for technological regulation support of NNP cooling pond scavenging (on the example of Zaporozhia NPP).

The object is hydrochemical composition of water supplies as to the contents of heavy metals in the region of NPS location; the aim is improvement of ecological monitoring of heavy metals for providing technological regulations for blowing down of the NPS cooling pond and alleviating the technogenic load on the ecosystem of the adjoining aquatoria; methods used are the methods of system analysis, imitational mathematic modeling, mathematic statistics and probability theory, methods of algorithmization and the method of programming Delphi 7, atom-absorption and photometric methods; the novelty lies in the fact that a mathematic model of defining heavy metals concentration in Zaporozhie NPS cooling water has been created, an efficient method of assessment and prognosis of water quality under different modes of operation of the NPS cooling reservoir has been created, a complex automated ecological monitoring of water quality as to the contents of heavy metals for providing new ecologically safe technological regulations for blowing down of the Zaporozhie NPS cooling pond has been substantiated; the results lie in developing recommendations on regulating water quality, a most acceptable variant of regulations for blowing down of the Zaporozhie NPS cooling pond has been set, an imitator for training personnel to act under different modes of cooling pond operation and in emergency situations of natural and technogenic origin has been created, it has been implemented at Zaporozhie NPS and in the instruction process at Sevastopol National University of Nuclear Energy and Industry; the area is nuclear engineering.
