Why so many nuclear cooling towers? Serious question.
HighwayStar
They're just cooling towers. Power stations have them regardless of the fuel. Nuke, coal, gas, etc.
FormerNortherner
They're called hyperbolic aka natural draft cooling towers, used at coal, chemical, and nuclear plants. It's a public misconception.
MyDogJake
wiki says hyperboloid, but thanks for clearing up that they are not just for nuclear plants.
hopefulheart
Where I live (UK) those are all over on coal plants (which tend to be old) so I'm with notme222 on this
Lekkanaai
Coal. Second last one was in Cape Town watched it live. Too old and unstable to re commission. Seriously lol'd at the windmill one.
Lekkanaai
And they dropped so fast we almost missed it. Someone had a high frame rate ;-)
OverratedUserName
I guess that most of them is from germany. In few years t hey have replaced lot of nuclear plants with coal and wind power.
MyDogJake
I though Germany was using a lot of solar power, not going back to coal...
OverratedUserName
They did run down most of nuclear ans solar won't fill the need. So they had to start using more coal. Thats what i have heard/read.
MyDogJake
Thank you for explaining rather than just downvoting.
jfosterdyess
Not necessarily nuclear. Coal burning power plants have cooling towers as well.
TomDaBigBomb
I guess they're just too cool.
Benny721
Nuclear power plants have a finite operating life.
Ringshadow
All major industrial structures have a finite operating life.
OfficialSkynet
probably in germany, they are decommissioning them all :(
MyDogJake
Best answer I've gotten. Thank you.
GamesPixelbomb
Yup, genuinely concerned too. *Looks to journo scouring reddit for investigative integrity*......*Journo gets distracted by Perez Hilton*.
JustARichard
Either to repair, upgrade, or they are relocating
Dispatcher007
Nuclear towers are generally small dome structures. Those are coal/gas. My dad worked at a nuke plant.
Ringshadow
The domes are pressurized water reactors. If you see a cube, it's a boiling water reactor! TMYK!
FormerNortherner
The domes you're thinking of are containment vessels, not cooling towers
MyDogJake
The hyperboloid cooling towers are often associated with nuclear power plants,[1] -wiki
aShogunNamedMarcus
And these are often associated with OP's mom
MyDogJake

turkeydonkey
There are a lot of power plants that use cooling towers like that, so it could be coal or something too.
CobraDBlade
Most of these gifs are from an advert for clean energy, where it shows happy coal and nuclear towers getting demolished.
Kingmal
Ah yes, nuclear power, definitely *NOT* one of the cleanest and by far most efficient power sources we have, or anything like that. /s
packardcaribien
It'll take a whole lot more than three wind turbines to replace a coal or a nuclear plant though.....
CobraDBlade
There you go using logic again! You will never understand the eco movement!
packardcaribien
Not to mention wind and solar powerplants need traditional powerplants to back them up anyway...
notme222
I was wondering he same thing, though my guess is they're coal plant cooling towers and we're moving away from that.
MellowButDramatic
Apart fm Australia where we burn as much coal as possible. We are so smart. SMRT. I mean SMART.
HighrockTendales
*Whilst the Chinese move towards that at the speed of sound.
unintentionallyasymmetric
Maybe because a lot of them are defunct and are being demolished?
MyDogJake
by why are so many defunct. seems weird
Ringshadow
Plants have a lifespan. If a plant of any type is shut down, eventually you move to demolition. Nuke takes a lot longer though.
unintentionallyasymmetric
My guess would be negative public image, but really it's not something I know much about.
MyDogJake
but they shouldn't be failing if they are only a few decades old...
Ringshadow
Lifespan. They don't last forever.
MyDogJake
I studies EnergY Asset Management and I can't think of any reason to blow up the cooling towers at a power plant other than they are failing
Ringshadow
I don't know, but they're not just for nuke. they're called parabolic cooling towers. Used by coal, gas, and sometimes chemical.
bad1ands
almost every coal-fired plant has them here in the uk
Ringshadow
and yes, also for nuclear, but not all nuclear plants have them, and not all cooling towers are parabolic!
Zimzyx
In Fl. I lived near a nuke plant that didn't have parabolic towers, they were cylindrical with dome roofs.
Ringshadow
Those are containment buildings, sir/ma'am. That's where the reactor goes. Cooling towers are tertiary cooling devices.
signuptoday
Quite right. Many stations are built along large bodies of water, and use that to cool the turbine's condenser.
dogenuggets
I can verify seeing them on chemical plants.
MyDogJake
Google say hyperboloid. and that they're used for nuclear and chemical... I've never seen one on a gas or coal plant....
TomDaBigBomb
Can be used for any fuel source, it doesn't matter; used to cool the steam and pump it back into the turbine.
lonepolarbear
They are used on most coal fired plants in Australia. Some use wooden cooling stacks but that has a larger footprint. Ex-station engineer
BlackJackDavey
Definitely used for coal stations all over the world.
ChewSoap
They're on most coal plants here, very efficient style of cooling.
villlllle
All fossil fuel power plants need cooling, and unless they happen to be located by an abundant cool water source, they'll usually get this
mostlydrawing
Right, anything that produces a lot of heat since discharging hot water into a river or lake tends to upset the local ecosystem. 1/
mostlydrawing
Source: used to work for FirstEnergy and we used them on coal and nuclear plants. 2/2
Ringshadow
Also being lake cooled puts you prey to the lake. DC Cook went offline when over a million fish swam into their screenhouse. Damn alewives.
Kiwi31415
We've got one here in New Zealand on a geothermal plant (at least that's what they tell us....)

I've always heard them called parabolic, which might be a symptom of "fuck it, close enough" terminology. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
