Model of a nuclear station with a cooling tower

Artifact Number:

2021-013

Description

A 36 cm wide plastic model of a small nuclear reactor, housed in a concrete containment building with a cooling tower used to dissipate unused heat. This is unlike the nuclear power stations in Canada which, because of the abundant supply of cooling water, transfer unused heat directly to an adjacent body of water.
