> The massive amount of water needed to cool down a nuclear power plant takes it's toll on the river ecosystems, sometimes to the point where the nuclear power plant has to shut down to prevent irreversible damage. Then there are the fish that get caught in the coolant system. To them nuclear plants are like those giant Minecraft mob farms that automatically kill monsters without player involvement. A truly magnificient killing machine. This is true in so many ways. This is why a lot of nuclear advocates are pushing for a non-pressurized water reactor designs like molten salt reactors. In addition to not needing to place reactors in locations with lots of water, we also reduce the damage to waterways from waste heat and water intakes.
