Abstract
Associated with the nuclear agro-industrial complex are several biological problems which require deeper understanding, viz., the effects of thermal pollution, progressingly increasing salt concentrations, and metallic elements from pipeline corrosion on the ecology of the immediate surroundings. Additional areas of study, supportive to the complex, are discussed. It is necessary to have a multiplicity of disciplines from the engineering, biological, and social sciences collaborate in the determination and evaluation of designs and sites of future nuclear power plants. In the background lurks the specter of setting into motion irreversible climatological-ecological changes that reduce rather than potentiate man's survival.
