Popis:	Chlorination is practised for preventing biofouling in the cooling water systems of Madras Atomic Power Station. Results of laboratory experiments on phytoplankton recovery (as measured by absorbance and cell count) showed that the recovery time in process sea water effluents and condenser sea water effluents occurred after 3 and 5 days, relative to the natural intake water. Results also showed increasing dominance of a single phytoplankton species (Thalassiosira sp.) in the condenser as well as process water during the post recovery period. Significant differences in absorbance, gross primary productivity and total respiration rate were observed between intake water versus condenser water and intake water versus process water.
