German term or phrase: List of power station terms
These are all problems in a list of documents in a power company archive. Little context therefore - any suggestions?

NV Massnahmen
MS/NS Schaltanlage
VEA & KRA (chemical processes)
SPAT (software program?)
Mengengeruest 500 MW
Warten (Liste der Warten KW XYZ)
KKS (type of power station?)
ÜNB (Systemregeln der dt. ÜNB)
ZST (Leittechnik)
BlmschG - a law?
IH (order processing?)

Really urgent - thanks to all!

Explanation:
VEA Vollentsalzungsanlage - Demineralization plant & KRA (chemical processes)?????
Mengengeruest is normally Bill of quantities, but in connection with 500 MW ???
Warten - Control rooms
KKS - Kraftwerk-Kennzeichnungssystem or power plant classification system (Abbrev=PPCS)
ZST (Leittechnik= instrumentation and control equipment) but ZST ???
BlmschG - a law, definitely as suggested above.

More context would really help! Good luck.

Points have to go to Leipzig for getting a couple of the real sticky ones, but thanks so much to all. There were 300 pages of this contextless stuff! Had to admit defeat on ZST and find the most neutral term possible for Mengengeruest...

KK and BImschG


Explanation:
At first glance, the only 2 that ring bells are KKS (the KK bit may be "Kernkraft(werk)" i.e. nuclear facility, power station, plant - whatever..
BImschG is the BundesImmissionsschutzgesetz. From memory I think the "official" English title is something to do with "Immissions", but a web search should find it. Try AltaVista in German AND English.
