What is the most cost efficient way to produce power is it Nuclear power water power or coal bio fuels?
Nuclear power is the cheapest, safest, and most efficient way to generate power. there are breeder reactors that generate free power by creating fissile material from the normal nuclear waste. so, it does not generate waste
How much does it cost to run a nuclear power plant per year?
It takes about 8-10 mn $ to setup a nuclear power plant. but the resources used in it are inexpensive common in the earth's crust
How much would you save if you built a nuclear power plant?
Figures published on website www.world-nuclear.org show that the projected overall cost of electric power from nuclear plants is similar to that from fossil fuelled plants (coal or natural gas). Nuclear plants cost more to build but the fuel costs are lower, so they need to be run at full power whenever possible.
How realistic would it be to use nuclear energy?
there are pros and cons for using nuclear power (as with all power sources). pros of using nuclear power are: it can produce at lot more power than a combustion reaction can e.g burning coal, uranium and plutonium (used in the reactors of nuclear power stations) is fairly cheap. cons of using of using nuclear power include: the waste products of nuclear reactions are incredibly dangerous and take thousands of years to become un-reactive, nuclear power stations also have hefty maintenance requirements, cost a lot to build and don't last as long as more conventional power stations. So to address your question- people are divided over whether the pros of nuclear power outweigh the cons. it may be realistic to nuclear power, however it is very unlikely that it will be the world's main power source.
What produces cheaper electricity coal burning power station or a nuclear power stastion?
I think they are similar, but the cost of coal varies widely and transport can cost a lot. The costs of nuclear look good on paper but cost overruns are frequent and present predictions are not reliable as no plants have been built for a long time, in the US at least.
Which power plant has least running production cost?
nuclear power plant
are nuclear power plants more cost effective cheaper than fossil fuels?
Levelized cost of kwh from a nuclear power plant is cheaper than from any fossil fueled power plants.
Should we have a nuclear power station in everyone's home?
No. A nuclear power station is a massive undertaking, and is cost effective only on the large scale.
How much money does a nuclear power station cost to build?
billions of dollars
How much will it cost to maintain a nuclear power plant?
it costs 99 sents.
Is wind energy less expensive than nuclear energy?
Wind power can be quite costly over time, but nuclear power creates wastes that cost a lot of money to dispose of, let alone getting the nuclear rods in the first place. However, nuclear power can provide much more power than wind power, so they are more or less equals.
What is the return on cost of nuclear power plant i need to know please tell me?
You will have to ask an electricity company that operates nuclear plants
What is the average cost to build a typical nuclear power plant?
6-7 billion
How much does it cost to run a nuclear power station?
its actually fifty million moolah
What is the most cost efficient way to produce power is it Nuclear power water power or coal bio fuels?
Nuclear power is the cheapest, safest, and most efficient way to generate power. there are breeder reactors that generate free power by creating fissile material from the normal nuclear waste. so, it does not generate waste
Does nuclear power provides cheap and clean energy?
Only if you don't consider the cost to the future.
How much does it cost to run a nuclear power plant per year?
It takes about 8-10 mn $ to setup a nuclear power plant. but the resources used in it are inexpensive common in the earth's crust
