It also could be done independently and without affecting the natural flow of a major river/ecosystem.
But I've never actually heard of nuclear requiring storage, except for emergency cooling.
- jandrese 7y agoNot even emergency cooling but for regular cooling. A place to stash hot detritus while it cools off over the course of a few weeks or months. Things like irradiated valve covers, spent fuel rods, etc... They toss them into a big pool and let the water moderate the neutrons until the part is cold enough to move to long term storage.
- beerandt 7y agoNot that kind of storage, hydraulic power storage. Dam / large lake scale stuff. Off course they need cooling pools with radiators, but that doesn't require a dammed off river.
