OSTI ID:7354841
A summary of the current scientific and engineering knowledge in the field is presented. Fifty-two case studies of the effects of thermal discharges from electric power plant operation are given. Literature on the atmospheric effects of thermal discharges and their relative significance in the local, regional, and global space scales is reviewed. Aspects of changing land use patterns resulting from the siting of power plants, cooling towers, fuel storage areas, and transmission lines are examined. Problems and methods of controlling corrosion, scaling, and biofouling in plant cooling systems, and the present technology of intake structures are discussed. Contemporary steam plant design and the engineering of cooling towers of various configurations are covered. Thermal discharges are examined in detail from the standpoints of resulting temperature regimes in receiving bodies, effects on chemical and biochemical reactions, effects on freshwater organisms, effects on marine organisms, synergistic environmental effects with chemical pollutants, and role in regulating terrestrial ecosystems.
