Why do you need nuclear power plants?
You have to have power plants because without them we would not have enough power =)
Why should you build more nuclear power plants for electricity?
Because fossil fuels will run out. We need electricity in megawatt amounts. The only viable alternative is nuclear fuels.
Why isn't nuclear energy used more often by the society?
Nuclear power plants are expensive to build and need highly trained engineers to operate. Fear of a nuclear accident and fear of nuclear waste mean many people don't want nuclear plants to be built near them.
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.
What are three advantages of nuclear power plants compared with power plants that burn fossil fuels?
Nuclear power plants don't emit greenhouse gases, need little fuel to generate a lot of power, and can produce electricity continuously.
What is the aim of nuclear power plants in India?
The main aim of nuclear power is to produce electricity. People needs electricity for their daily life. Therefore for producing more electricity we need power plants.
Why aren't nuclear power plants built in deserts?
Nuclear power plants need a source of cooling. Water is the usual source of cooling, and lots of it, making a desert location unrealistic.
If nuclear power was in Australia where would the plants be?
All nuclear power plants (Australian or otherwise) need to be located near a source of cooling water. That means being near a river or lake or sea.
Why are nuclear power plants are located in coastal areas?
Nuclear power plants are generally located in coastal areas, or near large lakes, because they need a reliable large scale heat sink.
Does Malaysia have nuclear power plants?
No it doesn't having Nuclear powere station The correct answer would be 'currently' Malaysia does not have any nuclear power plants but the government has announced the plan to build 2 nuclear power plants by 2020. As Malaysia has been heavily reliant on gas (around 60%) and coal (30%) the government would like to diversify the energy production and start using nuclear energy as the power generation for the rising electricity demand since it is cheaper in comparative. To produce 1,000 megawatts for one year 20 million tonnes of coal are need whereas only 30 tonnes of uranium are needed. I think this is a sufficient answer; Malaysia will have two nuclear power plants within the next decade or so.
Is there a need to build nuclear power stations?
Yes, it provides cleaner more efficiient energy
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
