Yeah, since there is no combustion there is no carbon deposition and thus the oil basically lasts forever. We just filter it and add occasionally to make up for leaks.

There’s no combustion in a wind turbine either, so why do they need changes more frequently?

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Because of higher efficiency requirements and because the wind turbines have a much larger number of smaller moving parts.

The oil requirements of nuclear are all on the first construction, mining, and refining of the fuel. Very little is required at the operation of the reactor.

Very likely heat. I think reactors use water to cool the oil.
