Lithodynamic Processes along the Seashore in the Area of Planned Nuclear Power Plant Construction: A Case Study on Lubiatowo at Poland

The Polish government has made a decision to build nuclear power plant (NPP) in the South Baltic coastal zone. This means that three major types of structures will be located nearshore: (1) breakwaters and wharf where ships may dock load unload cargo (harbor), (2) seawalls protecting shore against erosion storm surge floods, (3) an underwater piping system for cold water intake heated discharge. study determines dominant directions rate sediment transport coastline section vicinity projected NPP (ca. 100,000 m3/year), as well assesses current changes at this location on basis field measurements mathematical modeling.
