Nuclear power plants should be close to rivers, oceans, or sea water to get the required cooling capacity for the steam condensate that is passing through the condenser. This condensate, after being cooled down, is recirculated back to the steam generators (in a closed circuit where is turned again into steam that passes over the steam turbines).

What continents have the most nuclear power plants?
Europe and North America have the most nuclear power plants. France has the highest concentration of nuclear power plants in Europe, while the United States has the highest number of nuclear power plants in North America.
What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants use nuclear energy as their source of power. They harness the energy released from nuclear reactions (such as fission) to generate electricity. The heat produced by these reactions is used to create steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.
Are there nuclear power plants in North Carolina?
Yes, North Carolina has nuclear power plants. There are currently three operating nuclear power plants in the state: Brunswick Nuclear Generating Station, Harris Nuclear Plant, and Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant.
Where Do you Find Nuclear Power Plants?
Nuclear power plants are typically located near large bodies of water, such as rivers or oceans, to provide cooling water for the reactors. They can also be found near urban or industrial areas to supply electricity to a large population or industrial facilities.
Why nuclear power plant is dangerous?
A nuclear power plant is no more dangerous than a fossil power plant. In fact, taking into account the global picture, it is less dangerous, from an economic, and an ecological standpoint. This may seem counter-intuitive, but the fact is that radiation hazard is mitigated by the dilution effects of the atmosphere and oceans and, looking at the big picture, nuclear power plants are safer than fossil power plants, hands down.
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.
Why does a river have nuclear energy?
Rivers do not naturally have nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is generated through nuclear reactions in power plants, not from rivers themselves. Rivers may be used for cooling purposes in nuclear power plants, but they do not generate nuclear energy on their own.
