Ooops sorry for being loud ,we have a new policy of being polite in the forum.
No, I was not referring to the steam generated by the reactor, used to drive the turbines. It was a reference to the water used for the nuclear power plant's cooling towers, ~70% of which directly evaporates. For example, nuclear power plants typically consume about 50 million gallons of water per day, 35 million of which evaporate.
