    Thermal Pollution & Causes Thermal Pollution is the degradation of water quality by any process that changes ambient water temperatures and divulges it from the normal or preferred temperature conditions. Usually it is associated with the rise in the temperature of the water bodies which might either be a stream, lake, river or an ocean. It happens due to the discharge of heated water from industrial processes like generation of electricity in thermal power plants. The increases in the ambient temperature

    steam flow. This study will help in estimating the safe working limits for the heat dissipation in the reactor. A nuclear power plant is a thermal power station in which the heat source is a nuclear reactor. That nuclear power plant is similar to that of conventional power plant where the boiler is replaced by a nuclear reactor. As is typical in all conventional thermal power stations the heat is used to generate steam which drives a steam turbine connected to a generator which produces electricity.
