Why build nuclear power plants beside big bodies of water?
For the cooling system of the power plant
A place where nuclear power is produced?
A nuclear power plant or nuclear power station.This consists of:a nuclear fission reactoran electric generation facilityone or more cooling towers to dispose of waste heat in the form of water vapora spent fuel rod storage pool of water (to keep the rods cool as their fission products decay)a manned control roometc.
What is the positive of nuclear power plant?
what is negative of the nuclear power plant
Is a nuclear power plant same as nuclear power station?
Yes, it generally is but a nuclear plant could refer to nuclear reactors which are basically the things that produce the power. So in essence, yes, a nuclear plant is the same thing as a nuclear power station
When was Mihama Nuclear Power Plant created?
Mihama Nuclear Power Plant was created in 1967.
Are the big towers in a nuclear power plant smoke stacks?
No, the big towers in a nuclear power plant are not smoke stacks. These towers are cooling towers used to dissipate excess heat generated during the nuclear power generation process, not to release smoke or emissions.
How do nuclear cooling towers work to regulate the temperature of nuclear power plants?
Nuclear cooling towers work by releasing excess heat from the nuclear power plant into the atmosphere. Water is used to cool down the hot water from the reactor, which then evaporates and releases heat through the tower. This process helps regulate the temperature of the nuclear power plant and prevent overheating.
How many cooling towers does the Chernobyl nuclear power plant have?
I don't see any in this view. I guess it used water from a river for cooling. It is all shutdown now, so the cooling towers if they ever existed could have been demolished, but I don't remember seeing any in early photos at the time of the disaster.
What is all the smoke that is coming out of the a nuclear power plant?
The smoke seen coming from a nuclear power plant is actually steam generated from the cooling towers. This steam is a byproduct of the plant's cooling system and does not contain harmful radiation. Nuclear power plants are designed to release this steam as part of their normal operation to cool the system.
Do all nuclear power plants use cooling towers?
Yes, all but the one in my basement
What does it mean when a nuclear power plant has multiple cooling towers?
It doesn't mean anything really, except that maybe the engineers thought that several smaller towers would be more effective than one large one.
Why were the nuclear power plants in Japan where they were?
The power plant were where they were because the generators needed cool water for the cooling systems at the plant.
Why build nuclear power plants beside big bodies of water?
For the cooling system of the power plant
Why would you not build a nuclear plant in the middle of a desert?
A nuclear power plant needs a large heatsink, i.e. cooling water. There is very little cooling water in the middle of a desert. That is why nuclear power plants are generally built on the edge of oceans or lakes, or on large rivers.

In a nuclear power plant excess heat is?
In a nuclear power plant, excess heat is typically removed using a cooling system, such as water or gas, to prevent overheating of the reactor core. This excess heat is generated from the nuclear fission process that occurs within the reactor. Proper heat removal is essential to maintain safe and stable operation of the nuclear power plant.
If the nuclear power plant in palatka Florida exploded will it reach Ocala Florida?
According to Wikipedia's sources, the power plant in Palatka, Seminole Generating Station, is a coal burning power plant. It only appears to be nuclear because of the cooling towers that are iconic of nuclear power plants but can be used coal fired power plants. I would have to imagine that the blast from a coal power plant, if exploded, would not travel the 40 or so miles to Ocala.
