Comment on Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet?

Direct quote from Axpo:
Eine übermäßige Erwärmung des bereits warmen Gewässers soll in heißen Sommerperioden verhindert werden, um Flora und Fauna nicht zusätzlich zu belasten
Translation: Excessive warming of the already warm water should be prevented during hot summer periods so as not to put additional strain on flora and fauna

Yes, it is not a problem for the power plants, it is a problem for the fauna and it only impacts reactors without cooling towers. And I may add, this is a problem for the fauna caused in big part by the global warming which nuclear plants help prevent.
