| Abstract |
The report gives results of a study of the feasibility of using low grade (70 degrees F) waste heat from the condenser cooling water of the Vermont Yaknee nuclear plant for commercial food enhancement. The study addressed the possible impact of laws on the use of waste heat from a nuclear plant for food production, alternative greenhouse designs suitable for the site, and an economic and marketing model for greenhouse crops. The low temperature of the waste heat source suggested that supplemental greenhouse heating will be required (a biogas facility using wastes from a dairy herd near the plant was proposed as being economically attractive). A greenhouse design employing heaters using methane from the proposed biogas facility and a cropping schedule for the greenhouses was recommended. The report includes the computer program used to determine the costs of greenhouse production in the Northeast. |
