Abstract

The thermal effluent discharged from nuclear power plants can affect the offshore ecosystem change. The ability of measuring sea surface temperature in high resolution with Airborne MSS thermal spectral band(8.5 $\mu$m ~ 12.5 $\mu$m) and Landsat ETM+(10.4$\mu$m ~ 12.5 $\mu$m) gives us an information of spread range of thermal effluent. This information can be used as one of major factors fur analyzing the impact of the fish farm damage around the nuclear power plants. Every season from November 1999, this research has been conducted to investigate the extent of diffusion of thermal effluent discharged from KoRi, UlJin and WolSung Nuclear Power Plant located at the coastline of the East Sea of Korea.
