Chemical effluents in surface waters from nuclear power plants. Quarterly progress report. [H. B. Robinson Nuclear Power Plant; November, 1979]

OSTI ID:5544977
A field survey was conducted at the H.B. Robinson Nuclear Power Station in November 1979 to measure copper concentrations and distributions in the surrounding waters. Copper concentrations were considerably higher in the intake and discharge waters than in control waters; the difference in total copper concentration between the intake and discharge waters was 17.3 ..mu..g Cu/l. Copper was present in labile forms in waters collected from the intake and discharge areas, but not in that from the control site. Results from ultrafiltration of the water indicate that organic matter does not play an important role in copper speciation at this site. Copper concentrations in bedload sediments collected from the discharge zone were higher than those from the intake and control areas; considerable heterogeneity in copper concentration at each site was detected. Copper distribution coefficients indicate that both discharge and control sediments had a high affinity for copper.
