How does decommissioning affect the overall cost of electricity generated using nuclear fuels?
SMD
What are some examples of things that produce electricity?
Most electricity is generated using coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear energy, or hydropower. Some production is done with alternative fuels like geothermal energy, wind power, biomass, solar energy, or fuel cells. The electricity you buy may be generated using one or more of these methods. No matter what fuels produce the electricity you use, your lights shine, your radio plays, and your computer runs in the same way.
What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
What is an advantage of using nuclear power over natural gas to generate electricity?
PLEASE NOTE that there are also significant disadvantages.The inherent ADVANTAGE of nuclear energy is the huge energy density of nuclear fuels, which is somewhere around a million times as much as what you get from chemical fuel.
How is nuclear energy stored once it has been recovered?
Nuclear energy is not directly stored in the traditional sense. Instead, it is converted into electricity and then stored in the electrical grid for distribution to consumers. In some cases, excess electricity generated by nuclear power plants can be stored using other energy storage systems like batteries or pumped hydro storage.

SMD
How steam generates electricity?
Steam generates electricity by spinning turbines located within electromagnetic fields. The steam can be generated by heating water using many types of fuels, such as coal, gas, and oil, or through the heat generated from controlled nuclear reactions.

Why have European nations had a second thoughts about using nuclear power instead of fossil fuels to generate electricity?
Disposal of depleted nuclear fuels its self a pollution problem.

How is electricity generated in a power station by using fossil fuels?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) is used to boil water. The steam is used to spin electricity turbines and this generates electricity.
What proportion of your electricity is generated using nuclear energy?
World wide the figure is about 16 percent
How do Nigerians get their electricity?
100 percent of the electricity generated in Niger is produced in thermal generating plants using fossil fuels.
How much CO2 does your dryer produce?
It depends on how much electricity it is using. Most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels, which produces carbon dioxide.
How much CO2 does playing a computer produce?
It depends on how much electricity it is using. Most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels, which produces carbon dioxide.
Where is nuclear energy needed?
It is needed if we are to continue to increase electricity production, without using more coal and other fossil fuels
How can roller coasters use fossil fuels?
Most, if not all, roller coasters are powered by electricity. Most electricity is still being generated by burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). As this burning emits carbon dioxide you can clearly say that roller coasters are contributing to global warming by using fossil fuels.
