Does nuclear energy cause thermal pollution?

In: Uncategorized [Edit categories]

Answer:

Thermal pollution by power plants arises mainly from the approx 65 percent of the thermal energy generated which is rejected to the cooling medium via the turbine condenser. This can be rejected into a river, lake, or the sea, or to the atmosphere via cooling towers. The amount of heat rejected for a turbine of a given output is not much different for nuclear plants compared to fossil fuelled ones.
