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