Multiple Choice

Nuclear fired generation requires proximity to which resource?

Nuclear plants must have access to large quantities of cooling water to continuously remove heat from the reactor and the steam cycle. This cooling water flows through the condenser to turn steam back into liquid and helps keep the reactor at safe temperatures. Because of this need, plants are placed near abundant water sources such as rivers, lakes, or oceans. The other options refer to fuels or energy sources for different kinds of power plants and are not what a nuclear facility relies on for its day-to-day operation.
