How much of your power is made by nuclear power?
a lot
Were is nuclear energy used the most and why?
Japan and the US both use large amounts of nuclear power. The reason for this is both are highly populated, industrial countries. They use a lot of power, so they need efficient energy sources like nuclear power.
How feasible is nuclear power?
Nuclear power is in use. Feasibility is 100%. There are a lot of questions yet to be reasolved, but whether it can make power or not is proven.

Why dont people use nuclear power plants anymore?
A lot of people use nuclear power daily throughout the world.
How much coolants are used in nuclear power stations?
A lot
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.
How does nuclear fusion power the sun for 10 billion years?
First, the Sun is pretty big, and there is a LOT of hydrogen. Second, nuclear fusion generates a WHOLE lot of energy.
Is nuclear power used a lot?
There are 104 operating power reactors in the US, and over 400 world-wide
Does the UK need nuclear power stations?
Everyone needs nuclear power. All things considered, it remains the best and safest source of energy that we have available for the present and the reasonable future. There are a lot of alternative energy solutions out there, but they will not be sufficiently advanced in the near future to support our energy needs. Yes, there are risks, but they need to be put into rational perspective, including understanding the fact that the global risks of fossil fuel power are actually greater than nuclear.
How are nuclear reactors useful?
They produce electrical energy. Humans need a lot of that.
Is solar power or nuclear power better?
The 'power' that comes from a both nuclear and solar is the same - it's electricity. Nuclear power is quite clean while it is being produced (assuming nothing goes wrong with the plant), however getting rid of the harmful nuclear waste after it's use is an extremely difficult pollution problem. Solar power is 100% clean, and no harmful waste is caused after it's useful life. If you were to power a house with solar electricity, it can either be done by suplimenting the electricity needs at night with other green electicity (such as from a green energy supplier), or the electricity from the solar panels can be stored in solar batteries then power will be available day and night. Looking at the very short term problem, nuclear produces a lot of power and is clean (apart from after it's use). Looking at long term, and the need to reduce pollution and nuclear waste then more solar power is better. Nuclear and solar should work together - If more houses/buildings were powered by solar (and other green electicity) then it would mean reducing the need for quite as many nuclear power stations.
