"Massovo dying fish": the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation provoked an ecological disaster for the ZPP (video)
The department said that due to the stop of the power units of the station, the water does not get into the pond-cooler of the ZPE. As a result, the water temperature dropped to +13 ° C, which led to the extinction of fish in the pond. There are now two types of fish - thermal tillage and the Asian catfish, imported about 25 years ago to ensure environmental purity.
Fish perform a sanitary function, they destroy the green algae and ensure the cleanliness of the cooling tubes of the turbine capacitor. "In conditions when the winter temperature has never dropped below +18 degrees, the fish multiplied. So, if the water temperature in the cooler pond does not rise in the near future, about a thousand tons of dead fish will be thrown to the shore,"-said in Energoatom.
