I mean, it would make sense to do that, since they spend time there." Actually they are pretty safe there, the warm water is the output not the input.. also with the current potential threats against nuclear power plants a lot are restricting the proximity to boats by fences and such.. not sure what you really mean about making the plants safer... Manatees are threatened much more by boats and propellers then nuclear power plants.. the intake's have screens that keep most fish from being sucked in let alone manatees, and manatees aren't really attracted to the input as they are to the warm water output.. the water is used for cooling and that process is what makes the water warm.. there is no radiation etc.. “So tell me, do they do anything to make the plants safer for manatees?
