You post just one article or paper that reports how coal is used in producing nuclear power. I'm not speaking of some ancillary use like backup power generation. We are speaking about coal and now you are backtracking to a water supply because you are totally incorrect about coal. Yes, water is an essential part of producing nuclear power, but coal is not.Again, you do not know what you are talking about. Coal is an important process in most nuclear plants especially in America. It is an input and required in Nuclear power plants especially if you see a dam or other hydro power around a Nuclear plant which in most cases is required.
