Why doesn't Britain have any nuclear power plants?
Britain does have nuclear power plants.
How is electricity generated in south Africa?
Electricity is generated by a Nuclear Power Station, but it is insufficient to meet all the City's needs. There are no longer any coal fired Power Stations in Cape Town, and the electricity required to supplement the output of the Nuclear power station is transmitted from further up country by the national utility, known as ESKOM.
Why do Japan and New Zealand have nuclear plants and not hydro plants?
New Zealand has an abundance of large rivers and lakes that offer potential for hydroelectric development. And these, along with some geothermal power generation, mean that about 31% of energy in NZ is generated from renewable resources. In recent years, wind power is increasing its contribution to electrical generation. There is a coal-fired power station, and most other energy is consumed by transport.New Zealand has rather set its face against nuclear power of any kind (including visiting ships), because of the hazards of nuclear activity. [In similar vein, New Zealand has expressed opposition to land mines and cluster weapons in warfare.]Oddly enough, New Zealand has large reserves of thorium sands, which may be able to be used in nuclear power plants that do not have the undesirable byproducts associated with the uranium fuel cycle.The reason why most of the world's nuclear power stations use uranium as a fuel, is that it produces plutonium as a byproduct - much valued for nuclear weapons. The electricity is almost a byproduct - it is the plutonium that the military desire at almost any cost.India is the only country currently with an interest in developing thorium reactors,Japan by contrast generates only about 3% of its energy from hydro. The balance is supplied from coal, Nuclear, and petroleum. [Presumably much of this coal energy is used in the production of steel.]Japan's earliest nuclear reactors were constructed in the 70s era, and in all fairness, knowledge of tectonic plates and underwater faults were in their infancy in those days. It would be fair to say that Japan would not today site large plants on the eastern shore, close to the subduction fault lines and the tsunami dangers that result. But forty years ago, such detail was wanting.Japan is a heavily populated country, and without nuclear generated electricity, its fossil fuel bills would be grotesque.
How many countries are there in Indiana?
Indiana is part of a country. It does not consist of any countries. Indiana is one of the 50 states of the United States of America.Or did you mean, how many counties are there in Indiana?
How do you become legally ordained in Indiana?
http://www.themonastery.org/?destination=ordination Visit that website and fill it out. Most counties in Indiana do not require any registration so long as you are ordained. Once you fill that form out you are legally ordained. With the power of clergy including but not limited to performing marriage ceremonies.

Are there any nuclear power plants on Lake Erie?
Yes
Are there any nuclear power plants in Colorado?
No. See the NRC website 'www.nrc.gov' for a map of all US nuclear plants
Does Australia want generation IV nuclear power plants?
As far as I know Australia does not want any nuclear plants
Are there any nuclear power plants in Georgia?
There are two nuclear power plants in Georgia, US; Hatch, at Baxley, with two BWR's; and Vogtle, in Burke County, with two PWR's.
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.
Does Nicaragua have nuclear capabilities?
No. Nicaragua is signatory of the Treaty of Tlatelolco, banning any nuclear weapons in Latin America. It also does not have any nuclear power plants.
Do nuclear power plants heat up the planet?
Any power plant causes heat to be produced when the electricity is used, but nuclear plants don't produce greenhouse gases as fossil fuels do
How have nuclear power plants changed?
Like any other technology, nuclear power plants surely has changed on many aspects, mainly security, eletronic management, leakage monitoring and others.
Is there power plants that don't give off harmful gases?
Sure. Nuclear power plants give off effectively no gases of any kind.
Are there any nuclear power plants in India?
Yes, see the India section of www.world-nuclear.org
