Is it true that nuclear power plants use large volumes of water for cooling?
Yes. Two peer-reviewed sources state directly that nuclear power plants use large volumes of water, one noting consumption 20-83% above coal-fired plants of the same capacity. A further book excerpt refers to nuclear plants with once-through cooling systems requiring larger volumes of cooling water.
