Chemical effluents in surface waters from nuclear power plants. Quarterly progress report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5424352
Field surveys were conducted at the Surry, Salem, and H.B. Robinson Nuclear Power Stations in May 1980. Analytical results available to date indicate copper concentrations are lower than those observed earlier. Experiments to assess the transport of copper across sediment-water interfaces were initiated. Results from a preliminary experiment show that gradients in the sediment layer and water column are established by 2 days. Experiments with sediment and water collected from the farm pond at Fort St. Vrain Nuclear Power Station are underway.
