I see no provisions for water cooling towers on this thing. I wonder what the discharge temperature is for the cooling water.
It’s floating on large Siberian rivers ... River water flows under the barge, gets sucked up into the coolers under the turbines, and goes back to the river.
No cooling tower needed. 6-10 foot diameter pipes. (2-3 meter - it’s a Russki design) but no cooling towers. They are only needed for enviro restrictions here in the US where the hot water is forbidden to go back in the river.
Simple. Easy. Cheap. Been done that way on the (up to) 500 Meg reactors for aircraft carriers for 50 years.
