Marks the first time the government has sought court action to halt possible pollution before any damage has occurred. And it focuses on nuclear Power plants a target of conservationists who fear hot water discharges will radically upset the balance of aquatic life. The outcome will affect virtually All 15 nuclear generating plants now in operation in the United states and the scores under construction or in planning stages. The government wants the Florida Utility to modify its plans for reducing the temperature of Cooling water at its Turkey Creek Plant currently being converted to nuclear Power. The company had planned to flush the artificially heated water into Biscayne Bay via a six mile canal stating the water will not harm the aquatic life in the Bay. This is in line with the position taken by most Utility spokesmen when questioned about possible environmental damage at nuclear installations along the great lakes and coastal areas where there is an abundance of water. The hot water at Issue is created by the Cooling process employed in most nuclear plants. Water is drawn from a Bay or Lake circulated through the condensers and spewed Back into the environment at temperatures ranging from 10 to 20 degrees higher the volume of water used by nuclear reactors is huge. It is estimated for example that by the end of this decade nuclear and conventional Power plants will discharge 20,000 cubic feet of hot water per second into Lake Michigan. By comparison the amount of water hewing into that Lake from All tributary streams is 25,000 cubic feet per second this torrent of hot water could harm the delicate relationship Between temperature and Marine life thus destroying aquatic life scientists say.
