Siting of nuclear power plants using remote sensor data, conclusion
TL;DRAbstract
In the first stage of site selection, areas lacking in coolant sources and areas of high population density are excluded from the region of interest. The objective of stage two is to identify potential sites within the remaining area. Aerial photography is recommended in the analysis of the geo-characteristics (geologic faults and fractures, mine subsidence, sinkholes, landslides, flood-prone areas), the ecological characteristics (e.g., unique natural areas or resources), and the transportation network of the candidate areas. During stage three the candidate sites are further evaluated using aerial photography to provide data concerning soil types, design for site preparation, and support for environmental assessments. The use of the remote sensing data from Landsat satellites and Skylab missions, available at low cost, is recommended. 10 references, 3 figures, 2 tables. (CKK)
