Aquatic bioenvironmental studies : the Hanford experience, 1944-84 /
Collection : Studies in environmental science ; . 39 Détails physiques : 1 online resource (xviii, 306 pages) : illustrations. ISBN :9780444886538; 0444886532; 9780080874982 (electronic bk.); 0080874983 (electronic bk.).From 1944-1971, the Hanford Reach of the Colombia River in Washington State received quantities of radioisotopes, heat and chemicals from up to 8 plutonium reactors. Subsequently, from 1971-1984 the same part of the river provided cooling water for 3 power-production facilities. Environmental concerns promoted a series of continuing studies to examine various potential adverse effects. No significant impairment of the rivers ecosystem was detected. This book reviews these studies and places them in a historical framework. It provides a unique overview of studies made over a 40-year period which are now scattered through various published and unpublished documents. It should be of interest to all those concerned with aquatic ecology and environmental concerns.
