Abstract: A lot of nuclear power plants using once-through cooling systems have been erected by Electricite de France along the french coast since many years. Because of the importance of the maritime works involved, very special care had to be taken concerning environmental problems, especially in terms of recirculation and thermal impact on the marine environment. The paper describes the recent studies performed for the GRAVELINES nuclear power plant, where a 3-D numerical model of currents and temperature evolution has been used and validated versus extensive in-situ measurements.
