Help a simple question regarding thermodynamics

[hssn601]

An engineer claims, with some thermodynamic analysis, that if the proposed construction site of a
Nuclear power plant is changed from one city to another, Plant efficiency will increase (cost of
construction and everything else is same). Does change of city has to do anything with thermodynamic
efficiency of plant?
(A) No
(B) Yes
(C) Cannot be determined
(D) Yes, but only if population difference is negligible








i think option c is correct

I think option B is correct because cooling is important, and available cooling methods depend on geographic location.

For example, the nuclear power plant near here is built at the coast, and uses the water of the Atlantic ocean for cooling. If a power plant was constructed in a desert, that would not be possible and cooling may be difficult and inefficient.
