New Proposed Sizewell C

It is being bulit just above sea level on a sandy coast. Is this wise?

A new nuclear power station needs a vast supply of water. But where will Sizewell C get it from? | William Atkins | The Guardian

  • The old oil fuelled power station at Pembroke Dock used to use sea water for cooling - so that seems plausible. I'm puzzled why they need so much fresh water for operation too (I can understand it for construction - just mixing that much concrete will require a huge amount) but for cooling couldn't they heat-exchange the heat to sea water and re-cycle the fresh? Or it is needed for some other process?

  • They'll have plenty of sea water when alleged "climate change" raises sea levels.
