I. SUMi.'!ARY AND CONCLUSIONS

• Five years of thermal monitoring (two years pre-operationa.1 and three years post-operational) at Surry

• Nuclear Power Plant have resulted in a large data base from which the thermal impact of the power .plant can be evaluated.

The following are some of the major findings and observations

• resulting from this monitoring *

1. During the three year period of operation of Surry Nuclear Power Plant water temperatures in the immediate

• vicinity of the outfall were monitored closely to deter-mine the thermal plume. The plume usually stayed close to the southern shoreline of the James River and excess

• surface temperatures covered less than 30 percent of the river in the survey area adjacent to the discharge point.

• 2. Maximum excess temperatures of 12°F (6.7°c) were recorded in the immediate vicinity of the outfall in 1973 and 1974. In 1975 primarily due to a combination of mechani-

• cal problems at the station, maximum excess temperatures as high as 16.7°F (9.3°c) were measured in the immediate vicinity of the outfall. The highest surface temperature

• ever recorded near the outfall was 99.9°F (37.7°c) on August 21, 1975. All excess temperatures decreased rapidly as distance from the outfall increased, and

• temperatures outside a distance of 1000 yards .(914 m) were rarely greater than s°F (2.8°c) above ambient temperatures.

• 1

3 *. Because cooling water is drawn from downstream of Hog

• Point and discharged upstream, the salinity was higher near the outfall than for the ambient water in th.is area. On several occasions this resulted in a "sinking"

• plume particularly when the salinity of discharge water was over 1 ppt higher than the ambient salinity.

4* During ebb tide, the thermal plume tended to stay close

• to shore and extended around Hog Point, while on flood tide the thermal plume headed upstreaM and away from shoreo

• 5. In some instances, there was vertical thermal stratifi-cation along the monitoring transects which had a

• maximum gradient of approximately 4°F {2.2°c) over 6 feet

{1.8 m) of depth.

6* The minimum value of dissolved oxygen measured during

• the 1975 sampling period was 3.72 mg/1 which was measured twice during August 1975. August monthly averages for the three stations had a maximum of 5.11 mg/1

• and a minimum of 4.61 mg/I.

7* The major cause of differences between the hydraulic

• model and prototype excess temperature areas was probably the scale distortion of 10:1, vertical to horizontal, in the model. As a result of this distortion,

• the model did not properly reproduce entrainment in the near field, which is the major process affecting the

• 2

plume in this area. This resulted in a larger

• predicted excess temperature area than has been observed in the river.

8* A statistical multiple regression analysis was used

• to predict the plume temperature distributiono The results were variable, probably due to the complexity of circulation in the tidal James. Predictions were

• somewhat better with higher loading. More reliable predictions probably would be obtained by this method in a lake environment *

• 9. The hydrothermal data taken over the past five ye~rs at the Surry site indicate that the thermal disc~arge

• was rapidly assimilated in the river. Outside the

'mixing zone' for the discharge, in this case the area within approximately 1000 yards (914 m) of the discharge

• opening, water temperatures were not higher than those which could occur naturally in the area.

10. During the survey years water with excess temperatures of 1°F (0.6°c) never crossed the width of the river at its narrowest point. This excess temperature was rarely found to cover half of the width .

II. INTRODUCTION

• The generation of electrical energy from a steam source results in an energy loss as described by the laws of thermodynamics. The thermal energy not utilized is rejected

• from the process in the form of heat transferred to the water circulating through the condensers of a power station. This heat is ultimately transferred to the atmosphere by conduc-

• tion and evaporative cooling either in closed-cycle systems, eg cooling towers, or in once-through systems, from the su~-

face of the receiving water body *

• In order to make responsible decisions dealing with the appropriateness of the method for transferring the reject-ed heat to the atmosphere, it is necessary to thoroughly

• understand the hydro-thermal dynamics in a body of water receiving power station discharges and to know the effects of the excess temperature on the indigenous populations of

• aqu~tic life.

The present investigation involves a field survey which has been in operation since 1971. The field data

• consist of two years of pre-operational data and three years of post-operational data.

The objectives of this investigation are to:

• 1) Compare pre- and post-plant operation data to determine the physical effects of the thermal discharge on the survey area *

• 2) Compare field results with predictions of temperature distributions made with the

• 4

James River hydraulic model to determine the applicability of the hydraulic_ model

• to far field temperature predictions.

3) Evaluate the design of_ the established monitoring program and to make reconunen~

• dations as to modifications which can improve the system.

The sampling program focuses on the region of

• the James River near Hog Point, Virginia, site of the Virginia Electric and Power Company's (VEPCO) Surry Nuclear Power Plant (Figure II-1) .

• The Surry Power Plant (Surry) consists of two 788 MW nuclear reactors, the first of which began commer-cial operation in December of 1972, the second in March of

• 1973. The power plant uses the once-through cooling method.

Water is drawn into the intake canal on the downstream side of Hog Point, pumped through the condensers and out through

• the discharge structure into the James River estuary, up-stream from Hog Point. The shoreline distance between intake and discharge points is about 5.7 miles (9.17 km) and the

• intake canal is about 1.7 miles (2.74 km} long.

Each unit requires 840,000 gpm (52,987 liters/sec) of river water to supply condensing *and service water needs *

• The maximum design temperature elevation of this water as a resultof passage through the condensers is 14.9°F (8.3°c).

This report includes the survey results for the fifth

• year and a summary of the study conducted during the la.st five years.

III. SAMPLING SYSTEM AND INSTRUMENTATION

• A detailed description of the sampling.program for the first four years of the study was given by Parker and Fang (1975).

• The following is a summary of*the sampling

• system and instrumentation taken from former annual reports

• This investigation used a moving boat sampling scheme. The parameters measured were water temperature at

• depths of 0.5, 3, and 6 feet (0.15, 0.9 and 1.8 m) air temperature at 3. and 6 feet (0.9 and 1.8 m) above the water surface, and dew point temperature. These data, along with

• salinity and dissolved oxygen samples taken* at fixed stations and meteorological data from nearby Ft. Eustis, were deemed sufficient to identify natural variations in river conditions

• and to isolate thermal effects of the heated water discharge

• The sampling frequency was determined by both the time scale and length scale of variations that one expects to find in the field parameters. In the far field region of the survey area, i.e., that region which is not affected by the physical characteristics of the discharge, thermal

• gradients we~e assumed to have time scales on the order of minutes and length scales on the order of tens of feet. With a moving boat sampling system, the length scale is the most

• important factor in determining a sampling frequency. During 1971, 1972, 1973, samples were taken every 6 seconds, which spaces sampling points approximately 50 ft. (15.2 m) apart

• at a constant.boat speed of 5 knots. Analysis of the data for this period indicated that sampling distances could be

• 7

made farther apart in the far field region and should be closer together in the near field. During 1974.and 1975,

• samples were taken every 10 seconds for a spacing of approximately 85 feet (25.9 m) in the far field and every 3 seconds with a spacing of approximately 25 feet (7.6 m)

• in the near field. Thus the total amount of data taken was reduced, with no significant loss of detail in the far field region and with increased detail in the near field

• region.

The designed survey frequency was two surveys per week during the periods March-May and mid September-

• November and three surveys per week during June~mid September.

These frequencies provided for reasonable confidence in monthly averages of the data, with greater confidence during .

• the summer when small water temperature variations are impor_. *

• tant because the water temperatures are closer to the critical values for organisms in the river *

• The sampling runs originated at Tower 2 and continued southward and ended at buoy C51 (Figure II-1). The transects were chosen to closely approximate those monitored by

• Carpenter & Pritchard (1967) in their hydraulic model experiments.

During each sampling run, surface and bottom water

.~

salinity and dissolved oxygen (DO) samples were taken at

• the three fixed stations (Figure II-1), and brought back to the lab for analysis

• 8

This monitoring program allowed approximately 650

• samplings of all sensors to be taken during the one hour and forty minutes required to traverse the designated transects. After the data were reduced, isothermal maps

• were made by equally spacing the data for each transect between the end points of that transect. The isothermal lines were then drawn in by hand.

• One of the* problems associated with this approach was that the data were not synoptic; that is, data were taken over a finite amount of time rather than instantan-

• eously at all points. This led to inaccuracies in isothermal plots drawn from the non-synoptic data due to the plume movement dictated by tidal currents. These inaccuracies

• were held to a minimum by starting sampling runs approxi-mately 45 minutes before predicted slack water. In this way slack water occurred at approximately the middle of the

• run, with the entire run occurring during the period of minimum tidal currents in the river.

A. Boat Instrumentation

• A detailed description of the design and operation of boat instrumentation, as well as calibration procedures, regression equations fitted to calibration data, and derived

• calibration curves, can be found in an earlier progress report (Bolus, et al. 1971). Photographs of equipment utilized can be found in a later report (Chia et al. 1972) *

• Calculated instrumentation accuracy is considered from an

• 9

instrument and systems viewpoint in yet a later report (Shearls et al. 1973), as well as boat position error *

• The basic information gathering and recording system aboard the boat is shown in Figure 2 of 1975 .\:=

~-*

annual report. Instrument accuracy is repeated in Table

• I (p. 16) of that same report.

Sampling was done aboard the R/V Bernoulli, a 26' twin engine cabin cruiser. This boat, being faster than

• the R/V Investigator (which_ *was. used earli.ertf permits lI}ore rapid movement between the study area and the marina, saving time spent in transit. Time spent servicing tide

• guages, the tower system, and taking water samples is held to a minimum also *

IV. FIELD RESULTS 1975

• Surry Operation*a1 Status During 1975, 43 surveys were made at Surry between*

• 3 June and 15 September. Basic environmental and plant data for these surveys are presented in Table IV-1.

Surry power generation was 90 percent of capacity or

• greater for the period 5 August - September 1975. (See Figure IV-1) This represents the longest period of continuously high power production since post-operational*

• monitoring began in 1973, and offers an excellent opportunity to determine equilibrium conditions for the river during what has historically been the period of highest ambient water

• temperatures in this area. Field data from this period are discussed in detail in the following sections.

• Horizontal temperature Distribution Isothermal plots of the 1975 field data are contained in Appendix A. The change of transects for the 1975 field

• effort (Figure II-1) has enabled better definition of the plume in the near field region and in the Cobham Bay area.

The isothermal plot for August 27, 1975, during early flood,

• for example, showed a narrow plume parallel to shore on the upstream side of the outfall. Approximately 1 mile (1.6 km),

upstream of the outfall, the plume turned sharp.ly and headed

• perpendicular to shore for another mile (1.6 km). This config""'.

uration of the plume had not been previously identified by the

• area of transect 10 was 5.0°F (2.s 0 c) on June 11. The June 11 survey was made during an early flood tidal stage, with the plant operating at approximately 48% of capacity *

• It appears then that in the transect 10 area, plume induced temperature rises are of the same order of magnitude as natural variations which occur in the area *

• Area Within Isotherms After isothermal plots of a survey run were drawn,

• a planimeter was used to measure the area wiih isotherms *

,Only those isotherms which were "closed" around the outfall were measured. A table of these areas appears in Appendix B.

A graph of the area within excess temperature isotherms

• as a function of fractional excess temperature, Figure IV-2, indicates that the area (A) within isotherms generally

• increases logarithmically with decreasing fractional excess temperature (8/8 0 ). An approximation to a straight line fit to the data is represented by the line:

• in Figure IV-3, it appears that the low slack water plumes were slightly larger than high slack plumes, although the differences were not significant .

• (5. 6xl0 6 m2 ), which represents the maximum s*urface area affected by the plume.

Centerline Temperature Decay

• Plume centerline temperature decay was determined from isothermal plots for ten selected survey runs in .August

• and September. The selection process was based upon the ease of determining plume centerlines from the isothermal plots. Plume centerlines were drawn subjectively, and distance

• and temperature along the centerline were recorded.

results of this tabulation are presented in Table IV-2.

The graph indicates that generally 8/8 0 reaches a

• value of 0.5 within 3500 feet (1066 m) of the outfall. This indicates that a major portion of initial plume mixing with ambient water occurs within 3500 feet (1067 m) from the

• outfall.

Vertical Temperature Stratification

• Figure IV-5 shows a portion of the isothermal plot for August 21, 1975, at high slack water. On this date the plant power production was 1487 MW, winds were SE at 7-8 mph

• _(11-12.8 kph). Four transects, AA', BB', B'C, and DD', have been shown in vertical cross section to the maximum sample depth of six feet in Figure IV-6.

• Transects AA' and BB' show a maximum stratification of approximately 2°F {1.1°c) over six feet {1.8 m). Transect B'C, across the mouth of the transect, shows a hot core of

• 100°F {37.8°c) water at 3 foot {0.9 m) depth at the outfall

• The maximum stratification along this transect is approx-imately 5°F (2.8°c) over the 6 foot (1.8 m) depth. The plot

• of transect B'C also shows a sharp temperature gradient on the downstream (B') side of the plume, with a more gradual gradient on the upstream side. Transect DD', 1200 ft. (365 m)

• offshore and parallel to B'C, shows that plume temperatures at the centerline have dropped to 95°F (35°c). The strongest areas of stratification are on the extreme upstream {D') and downstream {D) ends of the transect. Figure IV-5 shows that these regions are near sharp temperature gradients at the 25

On September 3, 1975, (Figure IV-7), at high slack water, the power plant was producing 1432 MW power;. winds

• were from the north-northeast at 10 to 15 mph (16-24 kph).

Two transects, parallel to shore and at right angles to the plume, are indicated.on the figure and the vertical

• temperature distributions along the transects are .shown in Figure IV-8.

Along transect AA', the heated core of water in the

• middle of the plume is again apparent. Temperature gradients are strongest on the downstream (A,B) side of the plume for both transects. On the upstream (A',B') side of the plume on

• each transect there appears a slug of cooler water which has been entrained by the plume. Along transect AA', the entrained water is represented by the section to the A'

• side of the plume with temperature less than ao°F (26.7°c).

This slug appears on transect BB', although it is warmer and.

only extends to 3 feet (0.9 m) at this transect. Temperatures

• in the center of the plume have decreased from 93°F (33.9°c) to 88°F (31.1°c) between the two transects, a distance of slightly more than 1100 feet (335 m) *

• The vertical stratification along the two transects has a maximum of approximately 4°F (2.2°c) over 6 feet (1.8 m)

. of depth. In this case, the.maximum stratification occured near the center of the plume, with little vertical stratifi-cation at the edges of the plume.

Fre*shwater Dis:charge, Salinity, and Dissolved Oxygen

• Freshwater discharge for the James River, measured at Richmond, is shown for the summer of 1975 in Figure IV-9.

The freshwater discharge during this period was typical

• except for the. high discharge around the middle of July.

Salinity concentration at stations 1, 2 and 3 (See Fig II-1) are presented in Table IV-3~ dissolved oxygen

• concentrations are presented in Table IV-4. Monthly average surface and bottom salinity and dissolved oxygen are graphed in Figure IV-10. Average surface and bottom salinity

• (Fig IV-10-a) reached maxima of 2.6 and 2.8 parts per thousand (ppt), respectively, during the month of September. Average outfall salinity, approximately 4.5 ppt, was considerably

• higher than the salinity at the three stations, and this high salinity discharge again increased the salinity at station 3 to a value higher than that of station 1, several

• miles downstream. (See Parker and Fang, 1975, p. 73).

This effect is apparent only for the surface waters. At the bottom at station 3, salinity was slightly lower than at

• station 1.

Dissolved oxygen during the period June to September 15 attained a minimum value of 3.72 ppt twice during the month

• of August.* August monthly averages for the three stations had a maximum of 5.11 ppt and a minimum of 4.61 ppt. September values were only slightly higher than those for August .

• *This value was observed once at station 1 and once at station 3, both times at the bottom .

V. COMPARISON OF 1975 RESULTS WITH PREVIOUS YEARS

• Ambient Water Temperatures For the past three years, ambient water temperature in the James River around Surry has been established by averaging

• temperatures taken at Tower 2, Tower 4, and can buoy (Figure II-1).

1 C51 1 These locations were chosen because they were apparently far enough from the outfall to escape plume effects

• and would, because of their spacing along the river, represent a typical longitudinal temperature variation for the estuary.

Figure V~l shows the monthly average ambient surface water

• temperature for June through September for the five survey years (1971-1975).

The average ambient temperature for August 1975 was

• the highest for the five survey years. August was.also the first month of continuous, greater than 90% of capacity power production during the survey period. The high ambient temp-

• .,.erature during August was due to either a heat buildup as the river reached equilibrium with the plant thermal dis-charge, or naturally higher ambient water temperatures for

• the month.

Higher ambient temperatures in the area could be the result of higher air temperatures, higher dew point tempera-

• tures, or higher freshwater discharges. Figure V-2 shows a comparison of monthly average air temperatures and dew point temperatures. Figure V-2a indicates that 1975 air temperatures

• were within the ranges found during 1973 and 1974. Average dew point temperature (Figure V-2b) for July 1975 was approximately

• charges for 1973-1975 are shown in Figure IV-3. The figure shows that July 1975 average freshwater discharge was higher than 1973 and 1974 values. The high July value is due

• primarily to heavy rains during the middle of the month.

Salinity values for 1975 also reflect the higher freshwater discharge for 1975, as seen in Table V-1. This table shows

• that average salinities at all stations during July and August of 1975 were lowcJ-: than 197°1 values. July 1973 salinity values were approximately the same as July 1975 values, and

• Figure V-1 shows that ambient temperatures for July 1973 and July 1975 also were close.

The data indicate that there were significant differ-

!e ences in dew point temperature and freshwater discharge in 1975, compared to 1973 and 1974 values. These factors could have been responsible for naturally higher ambient temperatures

• in the area. As a check, water temperature data taken at VIMS pier, Gloucester Point on the York River for the summer months of 1973, 1974, and 1975 were plotted in Figure V-4.

The VIMS pier is geographically close to the survey area, and temperature factors affect the York and the James Rivers in a similar manner. The data shown in Figure V-4 represent

• the monthly averages of the daily high and low temperatures.

were slightly higher than those for August 1973, while they were slightly lower at VIMS pier. July and S~ptember values

• in 1973 and 1974 exhibit the same relationships for both areas. The average water temperature for August 1975 at the VIMS pier was 2.1°F (1.2°c) higher than the August 1973

• average temperature and 2.8°F (1.6°c) higher than August 1974 average temperature.

The VIMS pier data indicate that the August 1975

• water temperatures were significantly higher than 1973 or 1974 August temperatures and support the *conclusion that

• the elevated ambient temperatures at Surry for August 1975 were due primarily to naturotl conditions.

Comparison of Areas Within Isotherms

• Areas within excess temperature isotherms for August 1974 and 1975 are compared in Figure V-5. Water temperatures are generally at their peak during August, and, as has been

• mentioned previously, August 1975 power production was continuously higher than 90% of capacity. These factors suggest that August 1975 data would represent conditions under maximum temperature loading for the river. The figure indicate~ that excess temperature isotherms enclosed larger areas during 1975 than during 1974, and that the differences

• were greater for lower values of fractional exces.s tempera-ture. The line drawn in Figure V-5 shows an approximate best fit line for the 1975 area data; this .line represents an

• approximation for the isotherm area versus fractional excess temperature relationship under equilibrium conditions (See

• Pore, et al. (1974) have used a statistical screening procedure described by Miller (1958) in order to predict storm surges due to extratropical.storms for the

• National Weather Service .

Description of the Method The screening procedure selects from a large set of

• possible predictors only those few which contribute signifi-cantly and independently to the forecast of a predictand.

In this procedure a forward method of multiple regression

• is used, in which significant predictors are picked in a stepwise fashion, one by one. In this manner a small number of predictors can be selected which contain practically all

• the linear predictive information of the entire set with respect to a specific predictand.

• 4) y =An+ BnXl + cn-lx2 . . . +NX n

where A1 , A2, A3, etc., are constants, and B1 , B2 Cl, etc.,

are the regression coefficients .

• The first regression equation contains the best single predictor (x 1 ). The second regression equation contains the first predictor (x 1 ) and the predictor (X 2 ) that

• contributes most to reducing the residual after the first predictor is considered. This procedure is continued until the desired number of predictors is included or until the

• additional variance explained by adding predictors reaches some cutoff value. A more detailed description of the selection of predictors by screening is given by Miller (1958)0

• The choice of parameters to be used as predictors is dependent on the physical processes which affect the predictand. Some preliminary screening runs were made using

• Surry data to see if this method could be applied to thermal discharges. Area within a given excess temperature isotherm was used as the predictand *

• Asbury and Frigo (1971) suggest that there is a relationship between A;Q and 8/8 0 , where A is the area with the isotherm of excess temperature e, Q is the discharge flow

• rate, and 80 is the initial excess temperature at the discharge. The curve obtained by Asbury and Frigo is

• 52

shown in Figure VI-1 along with 1974 plume data from

• Surry.

The Surry data consistently fall below the Asbury-Frigo curve. This would indicate that there is stronger

• mixing at Surry than at the sites analyzed by Asbury and Frigo.

This result was expected since the sources of .data

• used by Asbury and Frigo were plume measurements from power plants located on the Great Lakes. An estuary such as the James exhibits stronger mixing than a lake due to the I

os9illatory tidal currents. Another factor contributing to the higher mixing exhibited at Surry was a higher discharge flow rate than for the Great Lakes data. The maximum flow rate at Surry was 3740 cfs, while the maximum flow rate for the Great Lakes data was 1872 cfs.

The least squares fit to the Surry data represented

• by the line A/Q = 51.3 (8/8 0 ) -2.61

• in figure VI-1 indicates that Log (8/8 0 ) should be used as one of the predictors and that the predictand should be of the form Log A?

• Other predictors that were included in the analysis were ambient water temperature {AWT), plant operation (PO),

air temperature (AT), dew point temperature (DPT), wind

• speed (WS), and wind direction {WD). These variables, along

• the screening program.

Once the variables were read into the computer program, additional variables were created by combination or modification of the initial variables to represent various heat exchange mechanisms. The heat exchange mechanisms represented in dimensionless form were:

• Back Radiation: (NflT + 8 + 460) 4 Conduction: (AT - AWT - 8)

Evaporation: WS (AT - DPT)

• Initial runs of the statistical screening program indicated that the best fit equation had a multiple correla-tion coefficient equal to 0.71. In order to decrease the

• variance in the data, only those plumes for which plant power production was 1400 MW or greater were used in the procedure.

The equation that resulted from the analysis of the

• remaining data was:

Log Area= -5.886 - 3.428 log (8/8 0 ) - 0.047 (WS) + .008 (PO)

The three predictors, log 8/8 0 , wind speed (WS), and

• plant operation in MW (PO), were the most significant in explaining the variation of the data. The multiple correla-tion coefficient using the above equation was 0.94 and the

• standard error was 0.19. Figure VI-2 shows the correlation between the predicted areas using the above equation and the actual areas. This figure shows that the correlation is best

• After a prediction equation has been developed, it must be used with an independent set of data in order to verify its accuracy. Figure VI-3 shows the correlation

• in most cases, within an order of magnitude of the actual area.

Several factors may be contributing to the errors

• of the prediction equation using 1975 data. These are:

1) Power production was at a more continuous and higher level during 1975

• 2) Ambient temperatures were higher in August 1975 than for 1974

3) Average wind speeds were higher in 1975 than 1974

• In general, the list of factors indicates that changing environmental parameters can have an effect.on the

• accuracy of the prediction equation .

This type of analysis may yield more accurate results if a larger number of factors are included as predictors.
