If the plant is located near the coast, seawater is usually utilized for cooling process, but if not, freshwater must be sourced, which often means it must be taken from other areas where it is needed, like for example in drinking water purposes.

The extensive use of nuclear energy has been a topic in the context of the current energy crisis, as the process does not add in any C02 emissions. However, what is not often mentioned is the large amount of water used for cooling. Have you all seen pictures of those iconic, cone-shaped steam towers?
