Abstract
No young fish of nine species entrained in the condenser cooling-water system of a nuclear power plant survived passage to the lower end of the plant's 1.83-km (1.14-mile) discharge canal when water temperatures were above 30 C. Temperatures in the canal remained above 30 C during 95% of the period during which the fish larvae and juveniles were collected near the plant's intake. A field observation device was developed to keep alive for counting those larvae and juvenile fish that survived passage to sampling points in the system.
