This article describes how an effective manual cleaning technique has helped rid submerged intake structures of this passive-aggressive pest. The New York Power Authority`s (NYPA) James A. Fitzpatrick (JAF) Nuclear Power Plant is located in Lycoming, NY, on the southeast shore of Lake Ontario. An 850-MWe, GE-design boiling water reactor (BWR), the unit has been in service since 1975. Water drawn from the Lake supplies cooling to plant loads via the circulating water system and three service water systems. These share a common intake system consisting of an offshore cap (crib), horizontal intake tunnel, two vertical risers and forebay/screenwell area.
