Nuclear Generation Emissions and Aquatic Biota
The interns will improve the scientific understanding of the biological effects of thermal and
radiological emissions that may have impacts on aquatic environments. Thermal emissions fi-om the
generating station may have impacts on developing fish embryos in local populations. Research will
include development offield monitoring as well as laboratory experiments. Additionally, low-levels of
historic and current radiological emissions may be detectable in aquatic organisms; if concentrated in
the food chain, these emissions may have unrecognized impacts. Post-doctoral fellowship interns will
develop a research program to determine potential environmental impacts that will suppOli Bruce
Power’s objectives to maintain the lowest levels of environmental impacts.
