The coolants prevent overheating caused by the uranium rods. The process by which nuclear plants work is through the heating of water, which turns into steam and drives the shaft, which in turn creates current. Without coolant the rods would overheat and cause an explosion (like the one seen in Japan, or Chernobyl), thus creating a danger of radiation and causing great danger to the human population.

Sizewell nuclear power stations was created in 1995.
The three main types of power stations are thermal power stations, hydroelectric power stations, and nuclear power stations. Thermal power stations generate electricity by burning fossil fuels, while hydroelectric power stations harness the energy of flowing water. Nuclear power stations utilize nuclear fission to produce heat, which is then converted into electricity. Each type has its own advantages and environmental considerations.
India has 19 nuclear power stations all together.
Nuclear Power is used in power stations to produce electricity
nuclear waste
To transfer the heat produced in the fuel to the steam raising units.
coolant is used to keep the reactor cool and prevent it from melting down. The amount of cooling that is required really depends on the the amount of heat being put into the coolant.
Yes, nuclear power stations are generally more efficient than coal power stations, as they can generate more electricity with the same amount of fuel. Nuclear power produces less waste and greenhouse gas emissions compared to coal power.
The Chashma Nuclear Power Complex and Karachi Nuclear Power Plant are in Pakistan.
No, there are no nuclear power stations in Ireland.
