A coolant serves two purposes in any thermal power station (whether nuclear, coal burning, oil burning, gas burning, etc.):
The lifespan of a power station can vary depending on the type of technology used and how well it is maintained. On average, a power station can last between 20 to 50 years before major renovations or replacements are needed. Upgrades to equipment and technology can also help extend the lifespan of a power station.

Hartlepool Nuclear Power Station was created in 1983.
Drax Power Station was commissioned in 1974 and was fully operational by 1986.
The nearest power station to Coventry is likely the Radcliffe-on-Soar Power Station located in Nottinghamshire, around 50 miles away. This coal-fired power station is one of the closest large power stations to Coventry.

It depends on how much it needs to be cooled down, or transferred. The more heat there is the more coolant (water) is needed.
Depends on the amount of fuel remaining. Usually at 78% and at 780 Degrees, A Reactor requires 480 Kilo Litres of Coolant [Water] per Day.
Cruachan Power Station is a storage hydro-electric power station whereas a Normal Hydroelectric power station is produced and then used, no storage needed.

Probably not because nobody lives in Antarctica so no energy would be needed over there!
The main source of power for the International Space Station (ISS) is its solar arrays, which convert sunlight into electricity. These solar panels provide the energy needed to power the station's systems and support its operations while in orbit.
coolant is used to keep the reactor cool and prevent it from melting down. The amount of cooling that is required really depends on the the amount of heat being put into the coolant.
Kalpakkam has both Thermal reactor (Madras Atomic Power Station) and Fast Breeder Reactor -FBTR and PFBR (Under construction). In MAPS (thermal reactor) it is Heavy Water (D2O) Which acts as a coolant as well as moderator, where as in Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) and Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) Sodium (Na) is used as coolant. Since there should not any moderators for fast reactors D2O will not be used as coolant in fast reactors.
