Nuclear plants located by the sea do not face similar problems in hot conditions, because ocean waters do not heat up anywhere near as rapidly as rivers or lakes. And, because they rely on seawater, they cause no freshwater scarcity.
而由于海洋的升温要比河流和湖泊缓慢得多，沿海的核电站并不会遇到类似的酷热问题。与此同时，由于他们使用的是海水，自然也不会造成淡水资源短缺。但正如日本核反应堆所暴露的那样，这些沿海核电站其实面临着更严重的危险。
