Observations of Crassostrea virginica cultured in the heated effluent and discharged radionuclides of a nuclear power reactor
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5263601
American oysters (Crassostrea virginica) were rafted for 26 months at four sites in the effluent waters near Maine Yankee Nuclear Power Reactor in Montsweag Bay and at a control site in the adjacent Damariscotta River. In an evaluation of the thermal effluent for aquaculture, comparisons are made among the sites of the effects of heated effluent on oyster growth and condition, and the uptake and retention of gamma-ray emitting radionuclides. Growth and uptake of radionuclides were observed to be accelerated at the warmer water sites. Both experimental results and calculations for /sup 58/Co and /sup 54/Mn are presented.
