1. NAME AND TITLE
TOTEM-3: Demand Assessment for Nuclear Power Plants and Conventional Power Plants.
2. CONTRIBUTOR
Commission
of the European Community, Joint Research Centre, Ispra, Italy through the OECD
Nuclear Energy Agency Data Bank, Issy-les-Moulineaux, France.
3. CODING LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER
Fortran, IBM 370 Series (P00603I037000).
4. NATURE OF PROBLEM SOLVED
TOTEM-3 starts from the total electric energy demand in a given geographical area the number and the power of plants of various types necessary to satisfy the demand are calculated, as well as the relevant demand of fuels, both conventional and nuclear, and possibly the costs of the produced energy. The effects of some bottle necks in the nuclear fuel cycle (e.g. in the reprocessing phase) can also be considered.
5. METHOD OF SOLUTION
None listed.
6. RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS
Maximum
number of plants - 10
years of the strategy - 61
load diagram points - 10
7. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME
For the sample problem 14 sec. CPU on IBM 370/165.
8. COMPUTER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
IBM 370.
300
kbytes for creating the executable load module.
200 kbytes for running the load module.
Peripherals: card reader, line printer, eventually card punch.
9. COMPUTER SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
