Title: R/D task plan: Response of fish to different simulated temperature rate limits

Abstract

The objective of the program is to determine the maximum temperature rate increase that can be tolerated by fish without loss of the ability to escape rising water temperatures. These data will form the basis for recommended power ascension rates during reactor restart. Activities required to meet the program objective include the task of simulating a range of possible temperature rate increases in the laboratory and analyzing the response of fish in an experimental environment. In addition to the primary task, scoping activities will be conducted to evaluate laboratory process control equipment, behavioral data collection equipment, and collect specific behavioral energetics data. 2 refs.
