Abstract
The purpose of the studies on the environment of nuclear stations is to reduce changes to the surroundings as much as possible in order not to interfere with ecosystems and consequently impede human activities. A nuclear power station implies heat discharges, radioactive effluent, and wastes and produces a certain sound level and creates aesthetic problems of space occupation. The main questions dealt with are those of heat discharge and noise, together with architectural and aesthetic problems. In the first two cases the intention is to define as accurately as possible the levels reached by the temperature or noise parameter. Where noise is concerned it is enough to know these levels in order to define an eventual hindrance to the target in question, the human being in this case. For heat fluxes man is not directly involved and further research is planned to identify the sensitivity of plants and animals. Since the environment also covers aesthetics, an effort is made to safeguard and improve the quality of the landscape.
