Comment on Hungary nuclear plant cuts output because of warm Danube watersparent

Comments

The largest US nuclear plant is Palo Verde just west of Phoenix were temperature can get crazy hot and nowhere near a body of water. It’s running with waste water of the city. So I’m pretty sure in a country way more humid like France you can have a backup plan, like building larger condenser towers.

Sure. It's not so much a physical limitation, but a failure of policy.
