OSTI ID:6835246
The report describes the environmental monitoring of aquatic impact of the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. The goal of this activity is to evaluate the plant's impact on resources of the Chesapeake Bay. During the first 18 months of Unit 1 operation, no changes in fish or shellfish abundance were noted. Entrainment damage (approximately equals 30%) to zooplankton and phytoplankton was observed, but no nearfield changes seen. Five species of fish were impinged (2.9 million individuals). Amount of menhaden impinged was 0.25% of local commercial harvest.
