To be honest even if it was a power plant... they're already in the business of generating power. If generating more clean power in the same space is an option, that sounds great
Power plants still need power to operate and even your own supply is not free.
Loop?
That’s how we got Chernobyl, and part of why Fukushima melted (because the backup generation was under the tsunami).
Yeah, and nuclear reactors use a lot of electrical power anyway. When they're first starting they need to draw a lot from the grid and they all have powerful backup generators and battery banks to keep the systems online in the event they need to suddenly shutdown the reactor.
The implausible thing would actually be getting approval to put the panels up, since reactors have high standards for checking the consequences of different materials being used on-site.
