Yes, the lake is basically split in two, connected by three huge pipes or dikes as they call them. The one side is known as the warm side or private side. It has no public launch ramps so only land owners have access to that side of the lake. The other side is the cold side or public side. Some of the greatest winter striper and bass fishing can be had where those pipes dump the warm water into the cold side. Because of the constant pumping of water for the nuclear cooling there is a steady current and the fish just stack up there. It's the only lake around here I know of that has tshad in it and blue tilapia survive in it year round as well. In the winter, sometimes the tshad and tilapia get lost and you will see huge kills of them. Nothing like fishing open water with water temps in the high 40's and it is 30 degrees and snowing out. I am lucky and have a friend who has a house on the warm side so I get to fish it as well. Kinda crazy see water temps that high. I am afraid if I were to fall in I would burn myself. They have a substantial area closed off that has water warmer than that. I believe many of the tilapia take refuge near the nuclear discharge area to find water temps warm enough for them during the peak of the winter.
