These plants generally reside near a body of water—a river, lake, estuary or ocean—because they require a constant source of water for cooling purposes. Without cooling water, a nuclear reactor will overheat, leading to core damage, containment failure, and release of harmful radiation into the environment.* *snip>* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to Mark Crispin Miller's "News From Underground" newsgroup.
