Why are nuclear power plants in China built in coastal cities?

There are many reasons for building along the coast.

First, nuclear power plants need a lot of water for cooling.

Convenient water intake along the coast

If you are inland, you need to build a cooling tower.

Many inland power plants also need to build cooling towers.

It's actually water vapor.

Secondly, the construction cost of nuclear power plants is very high.

It is several times that of a coal-fired power station of the same scale.

Most economically developed areas in the world are coastal areas.

Only economically developed areas can bear such costs.

Moreover, the development is limited to 5 kilometers around the nuclear power plant.

Just in case.

In case of an accident at the nuclear power plant, there is enough time to evacuate people.

Therefore, the location of nuclear power plants is generally relatively remote.

The number of immigrants in coastal areas can be reduced.
