Nuclear power plants are placed near huge water masses so that the water may be used to cool the reactor [and create three-eyed fishes]. In space, the best that can be done to cool something is to irradiate it - a very slow process.Alberto Monteiro
Now now. Three mile island has the river water three times removed from the reactor. It cools the water that cools the water that cools the reactor. And it's used in the cooling towers. And they keep a lot on site, they don't constantly take water from the river. Also, the fisherman say the best place to fish is near the island.
