Description

On behalf of the Rheinisch-Westfaelische Elektrizitaetswerke AG (RWE) profile measurements were carried out in 1978 and 1979 at the inflow of the cooling water from the Biblis nuclear power plants into the Rhine. By referring the measurements to the mean flow-velocity of the stream, findings on the mixing of the cooling water into the river have been obtained. The values obtained for oxygen concentration and oxygen demand, determined simultaneously with the temperature data, confirm the known predictions given in the literature. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Im Auftrag der RWE sind in den Jahren 1978 und 1979 im Rhein unterhalb der Kuehlwassereinleitung des KKW Biblis Querprofilmessungen durchgefuehrt worden. Durch die Zuordnung der Messungen zur fliessenden Welle des Stromes konnten Aussagen zur Einmischung des Kuehlwassers in die Grundstroemung gewonnen werden. Die gleichzeitig mit der Temperatur gewonnenen Sauerstoff- und Zehrungswerte bestaetigen die bekannten Aussagen der Literatur. (orig.)
