My problem is that people keep building reactors on faultlines and on seashores, I get that basically all of Japan is a faultline but in the U.S there is so much land where no disasters or indeed nothing in general ever happens.
Yeah, They need unlimited water nearby which is also where people usually live :/ And the plants are all ancient, the transmit losses were bad back then. If it weren’t for renewables, we might be putting them in distant areas with man-made reservoirs and multi-million volt transmission lines.
If safe enough and in a location without natural disasters it shouldn’t be a big deal to be semi near a plant. Take the Palo Verde plant in AZ. There’s no disasters that happen in the area other than heat and from what I’ve heard is they use the cleaned waste water from the cities to run the plant.
