Geographical Location
Geographical Location: Nuclear power plants can be built in places that large amounts of water, which is very important to cool a nuclear power plant. This amount of water can be found in lakes, rivers, or along a coastline. A nuclear power plant requires 95,000 to 227,000 liters per MWh or Megawatts hour. The location requirement causes a problem, they can be vulnerable to natural disasters. Nuclear power plants are usually built-in earthquake zones or places that have a chance of tsunamis. One such accident is the Fukushima incident, which was caused by a failure of a number of fail-safes intended to prevent nuclear meltdowns.
