Facility:

Arkansas Nuclear One - Unit 1 Russellville, Arkansas 5.

Description of Occurrence:

During routine fish impingement monitoring 2-26-75 using procedure 1607.10, Monitoring Fish Impinged on ANO-1 Intake Screens,1055 lb. of fish were collected during an 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> sample period. The projected fish kill for the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> period beginning at 8:00 a.m. 2-26-75 and ending at 8:00 a. m. on 2-27-75 was 3165 lb. based on the 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> sample. A mixture of gizzard and threadfin shad made up 99.9% of the total weight of fish. Other fish made up 0.1% of the total weight. Threadfin Shad made up 85% of the total number of shad. Temperatures taken.at 4:00 p. m. on 2-26-75 were:

Intake water temperature 44 degrees F. and ambient air temperature 52 degrees F.

Analysis of Occurrence:

V[

There has apparently been no adverse environmental impact due to the large numbers of Shad being impinged at the intake of ANO-1.. Wintertime mortality

- 1 of threadfin shad due to low temperatures is not unusual due to their lack of resistance to low water temperatures. The ANO-1 intake screens only collect the shad after they'become unable to resist the intake current due to lethargy caused by a decrease in water temperature.

Due to their fecundity, threadfin shad can withstand a substantial decresise s

in population each winter and still maintain a population suitable for forage by game fish.

g The fish that were collected during sampling periods were disposed of through landfill operation. The fish that were not collected were ground in a trash grinder and returned to Lake Dardanelle.

10. CORRECTIVE ACTION:

Long term' studies a'e in progress-to determine the ei acts of plant r

operation on the :\\quatic ecosystems of the Dardanelle Reservoir. Data

  • l from this report. and other data obtained is fed back into these studies to determine what changes might be made to the stud:

in order to ensure that adequato data is obtained for evaluating plant i.apact.

Review by Arkansas Power 6 Light and its consultants of the results of these studies will determine what corrective action might be taken to reduce plant effects on the Reservoir.
