Abstract

Nuclear power is a clean and efficient energy, the development of nuclear power not only to meet energy needs, but also is an effective solution to the problem of the growing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Maximum pollution is thermal pollution which generated by nuclear power operators, namely thermal discharge emissions. The temperatures of drainage outfall are generally exceed above 7 than the marine environment temperatures, the elevated temperature continued to spread and lower through the exchange of the cooling water flow. The up temperature might be has ecological impact on the marine environment and marine life surrounding. The article analysis the influences on plankton, benthos, fish and red tide of water body by the thermal discharge through a coastal nuclear power plant as an example.
