> "Legal" requirement sounds like you don't really care if you'd kill thousands if not millions of fish by giving them a heat stroke.

Given that this law has been repealed this summer during the worst drought of recent history without any consequences, it's fair to say this piece of legislation was unnecessarily cautious.

In any cases that's not related to what OP said about water being too hot to cool down the reactors, with a lot of confidence.

Dude, I won't let you move goalposts. You literally said that:

> the temp difference in the water source you are using to cool the plant will not be enough to keep the plant running.

> Can't cool your reactor if your "coolant" water comes in too hot.

Stop making excuses and be grateful you learnt basic thermodynamics today.

And stop parroting this shit anymore.

> Can't cool your reactor if your "coolant" water comes in too hot.

How are people even upvoting you? Even at 80° the water would be cool enough for my freaking GPU...

Did you even read your own source...

> to ensure the water used to cool the plants will not harm wildlife when it is released back into the rivers.

This is a legal requirement, not a technical one.

The water won't ever be too hot to cool down the reactors. How hot do you think the nuclear reactors are, 40°?

Yeah, they protected non-exploited deposits, in the ground.

Sure, lmao.

Edit: as you could expect, the lunatic blocked me once he realized how absurd his ideas were.

So France went to Mali to secure non exploited resources? Some of them discovered after they left?

Yeah you can believe it if you want, but that sounds stupid.

> Uranium and oil in Mali

There are neither uranium nor oil in Mali.
