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
