The Comprehensive Cooling Water Study (CCWS) was initiated in 1983 to evaluate the environmental effects of the intake and release of cooling water on the structure and function of aquatic ecosystems at the Savannah River Plant (SRP). The initial report described the results from the first year of the study. This document is the final report and concludes the program. The report comprises eight volumes. Volume III, the Radionuclide and Heavy Metal Transport Program of the Comprehensive Cooling Water Study, was designed to assess the distribution and transport of radionuclides and heavy metals in onsite stream and Savannah River floodplains. The conclusion that SRP cooling water discharges are not having significant offsite radiological impacts is verified by: (1) routine radiochemical data collected from Savannah River water and sediment analysis programs; (2) radionuclide data collected from raw and finished water and holding pond sediment analyses from downriver treatment plant facilities; and (3) calculated dose to man estimates of the maximum population and individual radioactive uptake resulting from consumption of finished water from the downriver treatment facilities. 58 refs., 56 figs., 134 tabs.
