Another query: As i understand (very basic) the fuel rod is encased in a zircanium alloy coating. The cooling is done by de-mineralized water in a closed loop circuit that is cooled by Sea water. The sea water is treated and then discharged. I might be wrong here but the 'impression' i have gathered...
