Not the person you're replying to (and never directly involved in electricity generation), but my university just had it's own small power plant: https://www.fs.utoronto.ca/utilities-and-building-operations/district-energy-and-utilities/ https://www.fs.utoronto.ca/utilities-and-building-operations...
I assume it was a mix of historical coincidence and a solution for less-interruptible power supply for the labs, but I'm not really sure.
- sanj 5y agoUniversity of Toronto had a research reactor back ~20 years ago: a "slowpoke" reactor. I don't believe it generated incremental energy, but it was used for irradiation. I worked there one summer and enjoyed it immensely!
