Nuclear power stations are typically built in remote areas to minimize the risk to large populations in case of an accident or radioactive release. The distance from urban centers also helps mitigate the potential for environmental contamination and ensures that emergency response efforts can be more effectively managed. Additionally, remote locations often provide access to necessary resources, such as water for cooling, and reduce land use conflicts with residential or commercial developments.

I don't know about hilly areas (many stations are next to dams), but they have to be built where the water flows through the turbines by gravity (i.e., does not have to be pumped).

Which type of gate valve can be operated from a remote location?
A gate valve that can be operated from a remote location is typically a motorized or actuated gate valve. These valves are equipped with an electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic actuator that allows for remote control via a switch or control system. This capability is particularly useful in applications where the valve is located in hard-to-reach areas or where manual operation would be impractical.

Power stations.Most countries operate a national Grid system. This means that all available power stations are linked together in parallel and feed the same system of wires.Power stations all over the country can be taken in or out of use, as demand changes.It does not matter what the driving force is for generation, hydro, nuclear, coal, gas etc. They are all connected to the same system of power distribution, that takes the power into cities and towns.

Why are Britain's nuclear power stations all built on west coast?
Britain's nuclear power stations were built on the west coast due to historical reasons, such as the availability of cooling water from the sea and proximity to population centers. This location also reduces the risk of radioactive contamination spreading over densely populated areas in case of an accident. However, newer nuclear power stations are being built inland to diversify the locations.
