Towers, site access

On a slightly more modest yet nonetheless effective scale, details on various cooling water technical papers, related publications, training courses, conventions, etc. are available on a number of information databases. These details can be accessed by simply logging on to the appropriate Web site, for example, that of the (U.S.-based) Cooling Tower Institute (htpp //www.cti.org) or Association of Water Technologies (htpp //www. awt.org). 

A 30 ha site for the power plant is needed which has good road access, is close to an electric transmission line, has a natural gas supply for startup, and a makeup water supply. Approximately 6 ha are needed for the drying dome and power plant, while the remaining 24 ha is to be planted with trees to provide a noise barrier and be aesthetically pleasing. Water loss is due to cooling tower evaporation and boiler water blowdown. 

Steel tower 800 feet from the zero point. The blast vaporized the tower, but Jumbo survived. Although damaged in some follow-on testing, Jumbo remains at the Trinity Test Site as a National Historical Landmark accessible to the public.
