The worldwide demand for potable water has been steadily growing and is projected to accelerate while natural reserves of fresh water are generally flat or diminishing. Desalination of seawater or brackish groundwater is expected to make up the difference; however, the desalination of water is energy

Arabian Gulf countries are located in an arid area with limited water resources. Hydrological investigations point to large resources of underground water, but they are saline and need to be desalted. The best choice for providing fresh water in the Arabian Gulf countries is through seawater desalin

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has addressed the issue of seawater desalination for potable water production with renewed intensity since 1989. It has been found that there are no technical impediments to the use of nuclear reactors as an energy source for seawater desalination. Highl
