Fish impingement monitoring data for the years 1974 and 1975 pertaining to the Nine Mile Point Unit One, which began commercial operation in December 1969, were analyzed by the most practical qualitative and quantitative methods. The mathematical models used in describing the fish kill rates showed a marked improvement over the previous assumptions that fish kills (by species) can be considered as random events independent over time. However, with more accurate estimates on fish kills now available, it is still not possible to determine the significance of these fish kills. The results showed that predictions were higher than those observed. The data acquired, method of analysis, and results obtained are presented in detail along with our recommendations and conclusions. (ERA citation 02:013425)
