My father worked at Perry nuclear power plant in Ohio for over 30 years. When we would go fishing on Lake Erie, before 9/11 and increased security concerns, we would often go out to what was called "the bubble". It was the cooling water outlet from the plant. It was a giant pipe emerging from the bottom of the lake, well below the surface, and the water around it was the clearest I've ever seen in that lake. It was warm and full of fish. You could see the rumble of expelled water on the surface, hence the name. We had no shame about diving in and touching bottom or just lounging around. I seem to remember my father cautioning us about staying in too long, but I think that had more to do with making the guard towers on land nervous than anything else.,(reply>), only in Ohio bruh 💀💀💯,(reply>), ⚛️⚛️⚛️,(reply>), @Atlas cooling towers use water from the lake.  They spray it on the steam pipes, like a heat exchanger.  That's why the wastewater from nuclear plants is so safe.,(reply>), @Howard Nelson bro you just doxxed your dad 💀,(reply>), I just looked it up and Perry NPP has cooling towers. Do they use the lake water as an auxiliary system?
