According to the researches, the water level in the Goryn River (above the Baltic Sea level) fluctuated within a month from 192.59 m to 192.72 m in December 2020 (the minimum value is 192.52 m; the maximum value is 192.72 m; the average is 192.63 m).
The total flow of the Goryn River amounted to 18.2 million m3 in December 2020 (December 2019 - 15.9 million m3) .
The water level of the reservoir-cooler (at the design level of 203.0 m above the Baltic Sea level) varied from 202.05 to 202.09 meters during the month in December 2020 (the minimum value is 202.04, the maximum value is 202.09, the average - 202.06):
In December 2020, the temperature of the water in the cooling pond varied from 7.4°C to 7.5°C during the month (minimum value is 3.5, maximum value is 7.5, average - 6.0):
Notes: Standard MAC (maximum allowable concentration) is applied for water objects of industrial fishing (the Goryn River pertains to them) - «Rules of superficial water protection».
According to the data of chemical analysis results mentioned above, the water quality of the reservoir-cooler in December was better than the water quality in the Goryn River regarding some coefficients.
The main water balance components of Khmelnitsky NPP cooling pond are listed in the table below:
Over December, emission of pollutants into the atmosphere was in compliance with the limits established for stationary pollution sources. Thus, the pollutant emission standards were not exceeded. The generalized information on pollutants emission is given below in the table.
According to the data of ambient air composition research, the month maximum one-time concentration of oxide sulfur at the border of the protected sanitary area of KhNPP (in Neteshin) was <0.05 mg/m3 (<10.0 % from MAC), the maximum one-time concentration of oxide nitrogen was <0.020 mg/m3 (<10.0 % from MAC) in December.
Total precipitation was 38.8 mm during December. Based on the research of precipitation composition, pH value was 7.90 units.
The average month air temperature was «+0.7°С» (the maximum daily temperature was «+6.2°С», the minimum daily temperature was «-4.8°С»).
The total flow of the Goryn River amounted to 18.2 million m3 in December 2020 (December 2019 - 15.9 million m3) .
