Abstract
The method consists in removing the cooling fluid of the primary circuit, and, as a function of the cooling fluid concentration, in passing either all of the cooling fluid into at least one electrodialysis module, or only a part of the cooling fluid into the electrodialysis modules and the other part towards at least one reverse osmosis apparatus, in adding to the cooling fluid, when it leaves the primary circuit, an additive to promote dissociation of the boric acid, and in then returning the cooling fluid into the primary circuit.
