B. Salinity in the adjacent waterways would increase because of dissolved solids in the used coolant water.
C. Biodiversity of aquatic life in the adjacent waterways would decrease because the used coolant water is radioactive.
D. Nutrient levels in the adjacent waterways would increase because of phosphorous in the used coolant water.
