Where is the Best Location for a Plant?

1) Near a large supply of clean cooling water. (preferably fresh water to minimize corrosion by salt of pumps and pipes).

3) On a stable ground location (Earthquake free preferable) (These can be designed around but costly)

2) Close to an energy corridor. (Often can cost as much to transport power as to make it)

There are currently 61 commercially operating nuclear power plants with 99 nuclear reactors in 30 states in the United States!
