83-07: Preplanning for Cooling Tower Upgrading GeneralBefore proceeding with a thermal upgrade project determine the present, or like new, thermal operating level of the tower relative to the original design conditions. Then, with an evaluation of the components and thermal potential the user can establish the necessary steps to meet his cooling requirements.

Advantages of using bleach and activated bromide to subsidize the gaseous chlorine application are discussed

This non-conventional design tower would serve as the ultimate heat sink for the reactor plant following a postulated design basis accident
