How hard would it be to use all the heat to generate usable energy, rather than discarding a bunch of it via coolant? I don't know much about nuclear reactors and I'm sure I'm not the first to think of it, and I'd guess it's quite a bit of heat - but then it's quite a bit of usable energy.
- RhodesianHunter 4y agoThat's exactly what it's doing. The problem is not getting rid of excess heat, it's that the heat causes wear and maintenance issues due to pressure, needed pumping, etc.
