The secondary coolant has elevated temperature, and it warms the heatsink (lake, ocean, etc.) into which it discharges. Fish tend to like warmth, so this increases the fish population. The fish vendors like that because it increases their profits. Regulations limit the warmth contribution, because if it is too high, you impact the ecology of the heatsink, such as by making the fish dependent on the warmth, causing them to suffer during outages.

What is an advantage of using nuclear power over natural gas to generate electricity?
PLEASE NOTE that there are also significant disadvantages.The inherent ADVANTAGE of nuclear energy is the huge energy density of nuclear fuels, which is somewhere around a million times as much as what you get from chemical fuel.
Where there any design changes to current nuclear power plants as a result of the Chernobyl disaster?
A few, yes, but Chernobyl was considered a dreafully designed nuclear power plant from the outset, and few plants would have imitated that design, especially after the disaster.
What are the application of nuclear fission?

What advantage does nuclear have over fossil fuels?
Nuclear power plants do not produce greenhouse gas emissions during operation, unlike fossil fuel power plants. Nuclear power is also a more space-efficient way of generating electricity compared to fossil fuels, as nuclear plants require less land for the same amount of energy produced. Additionally, nuclear energy is more reliable and has lower fuel costs in the long run.
Could the US reduce its use of oil by increasing use of nuclear power plants?
Yes, dramatically. Especially if we switched to hydrogen fuel cell cars and produced the hydrogen in the nuclear power plants by direct thermal conversion without generation of electricity.
