The factors affecting the location of the (nuclear) thermal power stations are partially location in relationship to the grid, and mostly location in relationhip to the heatsink. An enormous amout of energy is generated by the nuclear reaction - in fact the typical efficiency of the nuclear to electric power production cycle is only 33% - and that excess energy must be dissipated. There is also the factor of the population density, in that the design of the emergency/evacuation planning zone needs to consider the amount of people needed to be evacuated in the event of a large nuclear incident, should that occur.

What are the factors influencing location of power plant?
Many factors are influencing location of a thermal power plants. Main factors are:how close to cooling water from river, ocean, sea, etc..site safety against earthquakes and floods (especially for nuclear power plants)how close to harbours or transport means if it coal power plant and the coal is imported from outside the country.its proximity from heavy population centers, especially for coal plants due to aircontamination.
Factors affect the heat in the appliances?
there are lots of factors that affect heat one of it are the mechanical and thermal energy and other forms of energy
Why thermal power stations located in India?
the thermal power stations are not only located in India, they are located in the part of the world where there are coal reserves, India has large coal reserve located in various parts of M.P,C.G,JHARKHAND & KOLKATA,this is the reason behind the location of thermal power stations in India,as these stations use coal for the generation of electricity
