Effects of thermal, chemical, and radiological emissions on Whitefish

麦克马斯特大学、里贾纳大学和布鲁斯鲍尔合作研究了热、辐射和常规压力对湖白鲑（Coregonus clupeaformis）和圆白鲑（Prosopium cylindraceum）的生物学影响。 该研究将为布鲁斯电力公司提供必要的信息，以评估白鱼胚胎和幼鱼是否对布鲁斯核电开发（BNPD）的热和多应激源排放敏感。 BNPD拥有使用直流冷却的CANDU核电反应堆;大量湖水冷却涡轮机大厅，温水被排放回休伦湖。 热羽流可能含有微量的放射性和/或化学品（吗啉或次氯酸盐），以减轻入侵贻贝物种的生物污垢。直流冷却一直是一个令人关注的问题，因为热羽流可能会影响生态，经济和文化重要性的物种。

McMaster University, the University of Regina and Bruce Power have partnered together to study the biological effects of thermal, radiological, and conventional stressors on lake (Coregonus clupeaformis) and round (Prosopium cylindraceum) whitefish. The research will provide Bruce Power Inc with necessary information to assess whether whitefish embryos and juveniles are sensitive to thermal and multi-stressor emissions from the Bruce Nuclear Power Development (BNPD). BNPD has CANDU nuclear power reactors that use once-through cooling; large volumes of lake water cool the turbine hall and warm water is discharged back into Lake Huron. The thermal plume may contain trace amounts of radioactivity and/or chemicals (morpholine or hypochlorite) to mitigate biofouling from invasive mussel species. Once-through cooling has been a concern because the thermal plume may impact species of ecological, economic and cultural importance.
