very close to a nuclear reactors which generates universally present energy which we call the energy of Shiva,which is unlimited and divine.

The morden day nuclear reactor is an inspiration of that energy creation.
The water comes out from the Shivling is never consumed
Also no one is allowed to cross the spout during padakshina.

Just like that the water released from the nuclear reactor can not be consumed as it polluted with radiation.
