Where are the nuclear power plants in the state of Vermont?
There is only one nuclear power plant in Vermont, which is the Vermont Yankee plant in Vernon. Vernon is in the southeast corner of the state.
How much power is produced by the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant?
The Vermont Yankee plant is currently licensed to produce 620 MW. It was originally licensed to produce 520 MW, but received an uprate in power output in May of 2006.
Why does the Vermont legislature have the right to prevent relicensing of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station?
Because it is supposedly leaking radioactive materials and is not up to safetly standards since it is so old.
What percentage of VT power does Vermont Yankee provide?
38%
How many nuclear sites in Connecticut?
None. The Connecticut Yankee nuclear power plant decommissioning was completed in 2007.
When did people start using nuclear power?
In the United States, Westinghouse developed the first commercial nuclear power plant. Yankee Rowe started in 1960 and was in operation until 1992.
How many square feet of solar panel is needed to replace the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant?
A lot! The US Energy Information Administration says that the Vermont Yankee has a capacity of 620 megawatts during the summer. To generate 5 megawatts of solar power requires a solar farm about 30-35 acres large. Since 620 divided by 5 is 124, you would need 124 x 30 acres of solar plants. That comes to a total of 3,720 acres! One acre is 43,560 square feet. This means that it would require 162,043,200 square feet of solar farm to replace the facility which takes up less than one acre. And that's based on the low estimate. If you are looking for alternatives to the Vermont Yankee, I suggest you look elsewhere, because solar won't do it in Vermont.
What percent of the us population uses nuclear power?
Nuclear power represents about 19.4% (in 2006) of the total electricity generation in the United States. There are 31 states that have nuclear power plants, and the states with the highest percentage of nuclear power are Vermont, New Jersey, South Carolina, Illinois, and Connecticut. See the Nuclear Energy Institute website for additional information. http://www.nei.org/resourcesandstats/nuclear_statistics/usnuclearpowerplants/

How is holding nuclear waste good for the coomunity?
The government and companies will pay states and cities money for using their land for storage of nuclear waste. Nuclear waste can be dangerous, but when stored safely it is no danger. Nuclear waste is produced by nuclear power plants, which produce large amounts of cheap electricity.
What are examples of nuclear power?
nuclear power
