Fresh water could be also produced from these nuclear power plants. More additional uses for these facilities than non-engineers understand are possible; and they make them more cost effective to operate. The brine leaving these plants can be a source of all minerals because the ocean is a vast mineral soup, comprised of every known element. This would save much energy over that which is expended normally with common current mining methods. A complex of nuclear plants in the center surrounded by industries (called a Nuplex for short) could accomplish this using the increasingly inexpensive energy from the atom. Now that we are getting closer to nuclear disarmament, we truly would have massive amounts nuclear fuel for peace, already refined and easily converted to peaceful purposes, already paid for!
