Seawater cooling
12 of 16 from Inside a nuclear power plant (photos)
One of the unique features of Seabrook Station is its water cooling system. There are giant pipes built underneath the sea marsh surrounding the plant that take water in from about eight feet above the ocean floor. After cooling the steam in the plant, the water is sent back out to sea. The full length of each tube is about three miles.
