Light-Emitting Tag Testing in Conjunction with Testing of the Minimum Gap Runner Turbine Design at Bonneville Dam Powerhouse 1

T. J. Carlson / M. A. Weiland

This report describes a pilot study conducted to test the feasibility of using light-emitting tags (LETs) to visually track objects within the turbine environment of a hydroelectric dam. The project is part of an investigation of fish survival through a minimum gap runner (MGR) turbine installed at Bonneville Dam Powerhouse 1. The study was conducted from December 11, 1999, to January 29, 2000, by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and AScI Corporation for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under the Turbine Passage Survival Program (TSP).
