Not coastline, but the Lake Anna facility in central VA uses lake water for cooling. It's a two-loop system - internal loop touches the radioactive bits, which is pumped to heat exchangers, and an external loop ingests cool lake water and dumps warmer water back into the lake. The "warm" side of the lake has more valuable housing because the lake remains usable for a longer period of time each season. There's a series of dams that keep the smaller warm section separate from the natural cold side. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Anna_Nuclear_Generating_Station https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Anna_Nuclear_Generating_... https://www.virginialakehouses.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Lake-Anna-Map.png https://www.virginialakehouses.com/wordpress/wp-content/uplo...
