As others have mentioned, what you see at nuclear facilities are cooling towers. My father was a control room supervisor for a nuke plant. Something I always found interesting was… The water they pumped from the nearby river to cool things off, had to be the same temperature going back into the river as it was when they took it out. Can’t be fudging up ecosystems and what not.
