Using sea water to cool things has a secondary problem. All the stuff that lives in the salt water which will love to live inside your cooling loop.
Anyway, I look forward to our new allies in the anti-ai war. Barnacles.
Ahh, but you can sterilise the incoming seawater by irradiating it, and by a happy coincidence I’ve come up with a way to reduce the cost and weight of the reactor shielding.
Bob says ‘Sup’
(That is what the mutated giant jellyfish who lives in my reactor calls himself. (Yeah I know that radiation doesn’t mutate like that, we don’t live in a science fiction world, the jellyfish otoh)).
Nah, that’s just the global-warming-induced warm water they like, the presence of a reactor was incidental… swarms around any sort of suction system are going to be a problem.
I can offer you a upgrade in the form of an array of radioactive spinning blades if you’d like.
(in theory you could deploy your data centres in places where nutrient levels are low, so there’s less plankton and so a much reduced risk of jellyfish swarms, but I have absolutely no faith that these cowboys would even stop to think about that for one moment)
There’s plenty shore NPPs cooled with seawater so it’s at least partially solved problem, not that these are right people to solve it. Guess they’ll fail in disruptive and innovative ways. Seawater also only touches one side of heat exchanger, that is until it rusts through. The expensive things should have deionized water running through them
I bet that things will corrode anyway, because of sea spray
