They’re clearly visible from Google maps. See here:

The reactor building is bottom center, and there are rows of mechanical-draft cooling towers flanking some ponds, to the upper left. If you were looking for a large hyperbolic natural draft tower, you were looking for the wrong thing.

I stand corrected. I was expecting to see the tall parabolic wall style, not low profile mechanical with cooling ponds.

Those look more like helper CT’s designed more to draw in circ water discharge and cool it a bit before letting it go back into the river.

From this picture you can see the shallow banks of the river if you back out to about the seventh level. The main dredged channel is clearly visible.
