Speaking of radioactive nuclear material, I believe everyone knows that nuclear power plants that use it as energy to generate electricity will produce a considerable amount of electricity every day and output it to all parts of the country. But do you know why nuclear power plants are built by the sea? Let me show you.
First, the requirements for address structure
Because nuclear materials are very dangerous, they have very high requirements for the storage environment. On this premise, the site selection of nuclear power plants is also extremely strict. Nuclear power plants cannot be built in any area where earthquakes may occur and any area where geological structure changes may occur. The coastal area is deeply loved by site selection engineers because of its stable geological structure and solid and reliable geological structure, It is often the first choice for building nuclear power plants.
Second, the demand for water
Because the nuclear power plant in normal operation, the demand for water is very huge, and the used water can not be reused. Coupled with the shortage of fresh water resources in China, the seaside has become a good choice. This can not only save the cost of fresh water, but also protect the ecological environment.
Third, there is greater demand in coastal areas
Because the economy in coastal areas is more developed, there are more factories and huge demand for electricity. Building nuclear power plants in surrounding areas is conducive to promoting economic development. Having said so much, guys, now you know why nuclear power plants are always built by the sea
