How much of energy does koeberg nuclear power station produces?
1800 MWe
What material does a nuclear power station use for energy?
Most nuclear power stations use uranium enriched to 3% uranium-235 isotope. The nuclear power stations in France include some reprocessed plutonium mixed with the enriched uranium. A small number of nuclear power stations were designed with fast neutron breeder reactors and used uranium enriched to as much as 93.7% uranium-235 isotope. As more of the uranium-238 (or thorium-232) in the breeding blanket was transmuted to fissionable plutonium (or uranium) isotopes, the breeding blanket material would be reprocessed and these fissionable isotopes would be used to replace the original spent uranium. But only a small number of such nuclear power stations were built and the system for reprocessing of the breeding blanket material was not set up.
How much of Uranium is used in nuclear fuel?
A typical PWR has fuel assemblies of 200-300 rods each, and a large reactor would have about 150-250 such assemblies with 80-100 tonnes of uranium in all. It produces electric power in the order of 900 to 1500 MW.
How much uranium does it take to power a city?
For an answer it is necessary to know the number of inhabitants of the city, the industries located in the city, the envisaged type of the nuclear reactor, etc.
How much energy can nuclear power use if it was in the world?
I think you must mean how much energy can nuclear power supply , not use, and it is in the world-where else? In the US there are about 100 nuclear reactors and they supply about 20 percent of the nation's electricity
How much uranium is need to power a nuclear power plant for eighteen months?
Depending on: - the type of the nuclear reactor - the electrical power of the nuclear reactor - the type of the nuclear fuel - the enrichment of uranium - the estimated burnup of the nuclear fuel etc.
Why Arabs do not have nuclear power?
I guess they have too much oil, and no uranium.
How much uranium is used to power a nuclear submarine?
Sorry, but that information is classified.
How much of the is powered by uranium?
The majority of nuclear reactors use uranium as nuclear fuel.
What materials are used in nuclear power plants?
uranium, plutonnium, and not much more except chemicals.

How much uranium is usually in a nuclear bomb?
Cca. 50 kg of highly enriched uranium. Now nuclear bombs use plutonium, not uranium.

How much uranium 235 is used in a nuclear reactor?
Depending on the type and the power of the nuclear reactor. An example; a CANDU type reactor of 700 MW need 700 kg uranium-235 and only ca. 500 kg are "burned".
How much Uranium is in the sun?
there is not uranium in the sun. the nuclear fusion is due to hydrogen that fuses to helium
How much uranium does it take to power a city?
For an answer it is necessary to know the number of inhabitants of the city, the industries located in the city, the envisaged type of the nuclear reactor, etc.
