The paper presents the different stages of the environmental studies performed at the Laboratoire National d'Hydraulique concerning some of the French coastal nuclear power plants using a once - through cooling system, and the different means used, in function of the proper caracteri sties of the site, to come to an optimum inlet-outlet configuration leading to a minimum thermal impact and to a minimum recirculation of the heated waters at the intake. The paper particularly describes the original studies performed for the Flamanvilie power plant where a special computer controlled tank has been used.
