Aquatic impacts from operation of three midwestern nuclear power stations; Duane Arnold Energy Center, Unit No. 1 environmental appraisal report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5285116
Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) is located on the west bank of the Cedar River in Linn County, Iowa. The station utilizes a boiling-water reactor and steam turbine generator to produce 569 MW (net) of electrical power. Forced-draft evaporative cooling towers are used to dissipate waste heat. The closed-cycle cooling system uses a net volume of 7,000 gallons per minute of Cedar River water. An average of 4,000 gpm is discharged into the river. It does not appear that any major, long-term changes in populations of phytoplankton, periphyton, zooplankton, benthic macroinvertebrates, or fish have occurred as the result of station operations. It appears that only a small fraction of Cedar River fish eggs and larvae is entrained by DAEC. An average of 402 fish per year was impinged by DAEC from 1975 to 1980.
