The UK has nine nuclear power stations which can be found at Torness, Hunterston (two reactors), Hartlepool, Heysham (two reactors), Wylfa, Sizewell (two reactors), Berkeley, Hinkley Point and Dungeness (two reactors).
Stations at Dounreay, Chapelcross, Trawsfynnedd, Bradwell, Oldbury and Winfrith have either been closed.
Windscale/Sellafield/THORP is a nuclear reprocessing plant rather than a power station, and Dounreay was involved in reprocessing as well as generation.
There are 22 coal power stations in the U.K. Two of them are already closed so there are 20 fully functional coal fed power stations in the U.K. today. List from the United Kingdom Quality Ash Association.
In the UK there are 6 currently open coal mines, however there are plans to open more in the near future
About 20 (18 active anyway I think) http://www.ukqaa.org.uk/PowerStation.html
There were 1493 coal fueled power plants in the United States in 2006. They produce about 50% of the country's electricity.
Nine or ten, depending on whether Heysham 1 and Heysham 2 are counted as one station or two.
10, and 10 more are planned to be built
there are 4345567890876 mines in the uk
mines have one shaft
Mines in which the coal was mined.
Huntly Coal Mines
The UK has a history of coal mines and tin mines although most are now closed, in Cleveland there is still a potash mine and we also have a long history of treacle mines. (see related link)
What is a shackled in coal mines

The total number of coal mines in operation in 2002 totaled 1,426, compared to 2,746 a decade prior.
there is around 300
becuz she was spiteful like Ida rostant. Well, the coal mines were losing 1.5 Billion pounds per year (in todays figures calculated to inflation). This was a tremendous debt for the UK, the coal mines were not profitable since the 1960's. Thatcher eliminated the federal debt and reversed the economic socialist-driven downturn in the UK. It's true miners lost their jobs, but the coal mines were not working out. Something had to be done.
coal and oil come from many different places. Like coal from mines. oil from the ground.
