The UK is a small country without any large rivers or lakes for cooling water, therefore it makes sense to use the sea as the heat sink, and they all take seawater for cooling the turbine condenser
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.

The payback time for nuclear power stations varies depending on factors such as construction costs, operating expenses, and maintenance costs. Generally, it can range from 10 to 20 years. However, nuclear power stations have a long operational lifespan, so they can generate electricity for many years once the initial investment is recouped.
Nuclear power stations produce nuclear waste. This waste can be radioactive and pose risks to human health and the environment if not properly managed and disposed of. Additionally, some emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants can be produced during the mining, milling, and enrichment of the fuel used in nuclear power plants.
No, Ivory Coast does not have nuclear power. The country relies on a mix of thermal, hydroelectric, and some renewable energy sources for its electricity generation.

Sizewell nuclear power stations was created in 1995.
India has 19 nuclear power stations all together.
Nuclear Power is used in power stations to produce electricity
nuclear waste
The Chashma Nuclear Power Complex and Karachi Nuclear Power Plant are in Pakistan.
Yes, nuclear power stations are generally more efficient than coal power stations, as they can generate more electricity with the same amount of fuel. Nuclear power produces less waste and greenhouse gas emissions compared to coal power.
Yes.
No, there are no nuclear power stations in Ireland.
Nuclear power stations.
Yes - some power stations located on the coast use sea water to cool the condensers. Examples of this include:Gladstone Power Station in Queensland, AustraliaKoeberg Nuclear Power Station in South Africa
Fossil fuels are not used in nuclear power stations. Nuclear fuel is used (uranium)
