MAPS/Desalination Plant

There is a proposal to set up a nuclear desalination demonstration plant at the Madras atomic power station (MAPS) in India. It will have a capacity of 6300 m3 per day and would be based on the MSF and seawater RO processes (Hanra and Misra, 1998). The power would be drawn from a 200 MWe PHWR operating in co-generation mode.
