The climbing wall, up the side of the former cooling tower at Wunderland Kalkar. Carousel. Wunderland Kalkar is an amusement park in Kalkar, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is built on the former site of SNR-300, [1] a nuclear power plant that never went online
The water, held under high pressure to keep it from boiling, produces steam by transferring heat to a secondary source of water. The steam is used to generate electricity. Cooling water from the river condenses the steam back into water. The river water is either discharged directly back to the river or cooled in the towers and reused in the plant.

Giant cooling towers at Constellation Energy's Three Mile Island nuclear plant in Pennsylvania have sat dormant for so long that grass has sprung up in the towers' hollowed-out bases and wildlife ...
It was planned to be the largest nuclear power plant in the world at the time. [2] [3] The power plant was split up into two plants, Plant A (units A1 & A2) and Plant B (units B1 & B2). Each reactor would operate at 3,579 MWth, and have an electrical output of 1,233 MWe. The units were cooled both by a natural draft cooling tower and a spray ...
Grand Gulf Nuclear Station is a nuclear power station with one operational GE BWR reactor (General Electric boiling water reactor). It lies on a 2,100 acres (850 ha) site near Port Gibson, Mississippi. The site is wooded and contains two lakes. The plant has a 520-foot natural draft cooling tower. As of January 2023, the plant employs 675 ...

The heat from the reactor is ultimately dissipated to the atmosphere via the secondary cooling system using two modular Tower Tech cooling towers – model TTXL-081950. [10] The reactor uses highly enriched uranium 235 fuel, in the form of uranium-aluminum cermet with aluminum cladding. Refueling takes place 3 to 4 times every year. [5]
