In the general vicinity; about 50 miles downstream of Ozark and something over a hundred miles from Beebe.

Russellville I believe.  It's along I-40.  You can see the cooling stacks from the Interstate.

Unusually, there is only one cooling tower despite there being two reactors at ANO. The first unit uses river water, runs it through the secondary cooling "loop" exactly once and dumps the hot water directly back into the river. The second unit recycles most of its water through the cooling tower to reduce the amount of heat dumped into the river and the peak draw needed from the river.
