"Initial testing for Corbicula as required by IE Bulletin 81-03 costs untold numbers of dollars. If one assumes an outage cost of $50,000 per hour per 1,000 megawatt unittimes roughly 79 operative units in the U.S., plus 50-60 under construction, these costs alone would be $3.5 million for the first evaluation and perhaps $1 million in the plants under construction.

Juvenile Corbicula flumineaa get carried by water currents into condensers of electricity generating facilities, where they attach themselves to the walls via byssus threads, growing and ultimately obstructing the flow of water. They can also increase sedimentation rates within pipes and canals
