7. The difference is in the amount of heat produced
a coal plant and a nuclear plant are totally different animals in that regard. Nuclear power plants use a larger quantity of water because of the higher heat produced in the reactor. I've read a while back what the difference is but I'm not having any luck in finding it again to give you a link, I will be looking for that info though.
