US, European nuclear and coal-fired electrical plants vulnerable to climate change: study
Warmer water and reduced river flows in the United States and Europe
in recent years have led to reduced production, or temporary shutdown,
of several thermoelectric power plants. For instance, the Browns Ferry
Nuclear Plant in Alabama had to shut down more than once last summer
because the Tennessee River's water was too warm to use it for cooling.
