The reason many of these things are close to a coastline is because there is an ample supply of cooling water.

Depends on what design you are using, which depends on what needs and applications provides the best profit model....

...."With a growing realization that nuclear energy is necessary to achieve decarbonization in the electric generation utility industry, and for major process heat applications, 2020 looks like a year where action based on this concept will see more significant developments for nuclear energy worldwide.

Developers of advanced nuclear reactor designs are offering new revenue models that go beyond the level cost of electricity (LCOE) to offer heat as the primary output of their plants. Heat can be used to generate electricity but it can also be used for process heat for industry, especially chemicals, production of hydrogen, and desalinization. The combination of revenues from these heat streams will reposition the business case for advanced reactors as a result."...

I think if there be a central database station for the upcoming NEW WORLD like sky net in the movie terminator, it would be located at South or North pole.

Super computers and data storage is more preferred in cold temperatures. Superconductors perform best too at very cold temperature. Thus, it will be leverage for optimal operation.

Now I would not wonder why Germans, Russians and the US are up North.
