Here's the vastly better solution, as shown by this large schematic:
The US has 440,000 tons of thorium-232 that can be used for the liquid fluoride thorium reactor, plus many tons of spent uranium fuel rods that could be processed into fuel for this reactor, too. If we standardized a design for a 1,000 MW LFTR, we could build hundreds of them not only to expand available power, but also phase out coal-fired powerplants, too.
I would also add that there are some people who are physically affected by these things. But, who cares. As Nancy Pelosi said, "I'm saving the planet". Egomaniacs.
You also could use sea water in heat exchanger 2 and get distilled fresh water by adding one more step, the Arabs do that with the conventional fired plants in Kuwait,Electric and Fresh water Both!
