Heat affects plants in a variety of ways. It causes a decrease in photosynthesis, slows down transpiration, increases respiration, causes cell membrane leakage and inhibits growth. High heat, generally, has negative effects on plants.

Why is water such a crucial component of nuclear power plants?

Water is important for nearly all nuclear power plants as a heat sink, because nuclear plants are only 35% to 40% efficient in their use of heat. About 60% to 65% of the heat they produce is waste, and massive heat sinks are needed so it can be distributed into the environment. Water is also boiled into steam at nearly all plants, to drive the turbines. Other uses of water, such as the primary cooling systems are important at most plants, but this is dependent on the plant design.
