Abstract: The thermal discharge from NPP Cernavoda Unit 1 was monitored for thirteen month on at least a monthly basis. Besides temperatures, several physical, chemical and biological parameters were also recorded, in the discharge canal, the Danube area influenced by the discharge and the water adduction canal. During the entire monitoring period, no adverse environmental effects of the thermal water discharge were identified. The usual temperature difference between the ambient and the thermal effluent was less than 8.3°C, higher temperature being recorded during the colder months, when Unit 1 was working with partly recycled cooling water (up to 18.1°C on March, 03, 2003).
