British nukes don't have cooling towers (apart from Calder Hall, and those are gone now), they were all cooled by seawater except for Trawsfynydd which was on a lake.
Actually forced draught cooling towers as typically used on CCGTs are much lower and less obtrusive than the natural draught hyperbolic ones.
