Question about Limerick - Fwd: Heat Wave forces Pilgrim to Reduce Power Mr. Gray, Has NRC monitored to see if the Schuylkill River is overheated from Limerick's massive heated discharges?
July 11, 2013 it was reported in Common Dreams that in the summer of 2010, Limerick and Hope Creek had to reduce power when the cooling waters from the rivers was too high.
Testing for Limerick's "Demonstration" project proved Limerick's 14.2 million gallons per day of heated wastewater discharges up to 110 degrees were regularly overheating the Schuylkill River temperature limit of 87 degrees at the Royersford intake testing point, two miles downstream from Limerick's discharges.
Overheating of the river is supposed to require Limerick to reduce power or even shut down, but if no one is actually monitoring it except Exelon it is doubtful power will be reduced as it should be to protect the river ecosystem.
Thank you, Dr. Cuthbert From: "Arnie Gundersen" <sailchamplain@gmail.com>
