There are a number of different reactors in use, most commonly water-cooled pressurised or boiling water reactors - though other reactor types are kept cool with the help of liquid metal, gas or molten salt.
They can look toward new technologies, such as on-chip water-cooled systems, evaporation techniques, and hot-water reuse.
The cell, the cost of which is a more closely guarded secret, is 15-20cm across and is water-cooled.
States with the strongest projection for water-cooled concentrated solar power plants and capacity (more than 15 sites each) are California, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.
This Lexus Hybrid Drive powertrain features an all-new, ultra-smooth running, 2.5 litre 4-cylinder petrol engine mated to a compact, high-output, water-cooled permanent magnet electric motor.
ENGADGET: Lexus LF-CC Concept shows the future of touchscreen interiors
Porsche's Stability Management system will grab a caliper or two to keep the car from gliding off into the weeds tail-end first (remember, that water-cooled 911 motor sits behind the cockpit).
That doesn't make it quite as "open-air" as a true convertible, but it does let you more easily hear the roar of that water-cooled, 320-horsepower, 3.6-liter six-cylinder and get a lot of oxygen into the cabin.
When fog forms below 0C, its super-cooled water droplets remain liquid, even though the temperature is below freezing.
The study identified future potential electric generation capacity of 158 gigawatts for advanced coal, 78 gigawatts for water and dry-cooled concentrated solar energy and 515 gigawatts for large nuclear reactor plants.
The San Onofre nuclear power plant is perched right on the San Diego beach and the reactor is cooled by ocean water.

On Earth, such rocks typically form from relatively water-rich magmas that have cooled slowly at raised pressures.
Initial market movements did respond to fundamentals, though, as the shut down of Japanese reactors, coupled with the fact that the ones that have been cooled down with sea water have become inoperable, have taken out 20% to 25% of Japanese market demand.

The hundreds of photovoltaic chips gathering energy at the center will be cooled by the same sort of microchannel water cooling that kept Aquasar from frying, letting each chip safely concentrate 2, 000 times the solar energy it would normally face.
Reports of water cannons and helicopters being used to spray water on overheating nuclear reactors in Japan may have also cooled down tension in markets.
Anglian water has apologised for the inconvenience of the current situation but said the water was safe to drink if it was boiled and cooled beforehand.
