76-05: Noise Prediction Techniques for Siting Large Natural Draft and Vibration

76-05: Noise Prediction Techniques for Siting Large Natural Draft and VibrationCooling towers are likely to be the dominant source of exterior noise for power plants with closed cycle cooling. Predicting the environmental noise expected from large natural draft or mechanical draft cooling towers can play an important part in the selection of the type of cooling towers to be used, their location on the site, and the preparation of an environmental impact statement on noise.
