That’s over 80 million liters per day! You have to realize that these new nuclear power plants make 4 billion watts of heat and about 1.4 billion goes out as electric power. The remaining heat has to be dissipated as heat – so it goes into the water in the cooling tower. https://www.facebook.com/southernnuclear/videos/708110578766188/?mibextid=9drbnH&s=yWDuG2&fs=e

2025-06-08 Nuclear is Not The Solution: The Folly Of Atomic Power In The Age Of Climate Change By MV Ramana
A quote from The Guardian article: “Sun turns nuclear energy from its core into the energy of sunlight,” the physicist Keith Barnham wrote in 2014. This means, the author Richard Seymour writes, “the question is whether, instead of building nuclear reactors on Earth, we can rely on the nuclear fusion reactor at the core of

“Rats Overrun $49B Nuclear Plant: Hinkley Point C’s Shocking Crisis!” In 2013 Fukushima was shut down by a rat that chewed the wiring. https://interestingengineering.com/culture/hinkley-point-c-rat-infestation?group=test_b
2024-10-14 Nuclear Power Could Solve US Electricity Needs. But At What Cost?
Quote: “”Is building new nuclear plants possible?The chief question is: Can it be done in time and at a cost consumers can afford? History says, “no.” “” New nuclear is much too expensive – they have multi-Billion dollar cost overruns. New nuclear takes too long to build – they have had decade long construction delays.

2024-04-31 S. C.’s V. C. Summer Nukegate Scandal
Cost overruns from $9 Billion to $25 Billion, most of which customers will have to pay with higher bills. Construction delays of many years costing Billions of dollars. Executives convicted and served terms in federal prison. Incompetent nuclear engineering and Westinghouse bankruptcy. And the whole project was abandoned. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nukegate_scandal?ref=floodlightnews.org
2023-12-27 Nuclear 3 To 5X More Expensive Than Renewables Plus Storage
Sam the Electric Viking’s 12.5 min. YouTube video explains SMR and other nuclear power have had massive cost overruns. The costs of solar and wind are still falling. The cost of solar or wind is about doubled when battery storage is added. But it is still 3 to 5 times less than the costs of

2022-08-04 Is Nuclear Green?
Sabine Hossenfelder is awesome. This particular episode is fair and impartial towards nuclear power. One thing I didn’t hear her talk about was that nuclear power requires mining uranium and there have been hundreds of deaths from lung cancer caused by breathing radon gas in the mines. And this is especially true for the uranium

2022-06-20 Nuscale SMR – Engineering With Rosie
Nuscale SMR video from engineering with Rosie Rosie said, “The amount of land needed for nuclear is small compared to wind and solar…” This is a false and unfair assertion. In the US the nuclear power plants are surrounded by an exclusion zone where there cannot be any population, and this is a large area.
