Approximately 33%, depending on the design. That's measuring from reactor thermal power to final electric power.
Nuclear power amounts for a somewhat large portion of our the energy that we use. However, nuclear spills can be devastating. When a nuclear power plant leaks, radioactive material is released into the environment. This material is extremely harmful to humans and can cause many health problems and cancer. Radiation is spread through the air. It can take many years for the harmful material in the environment to go away. One of the most well-known nuclear accidents was the disaster at Chernobyl. Also, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan recently had a spill.
As of end of August 2013, there are 434 working nuclear power reactors (with total rated power 370.543 Gigawatt plus 69 nuclear power reactors under construction (with total rated power 67.196 Giagawatt).
Leo Szilard invented nuclear reactors in 1933 and patented the idea in 1934 (GB630726) however for many reasons nothing could be done with the idea until after World War 2.EBR-1 in the United States was one of the first experimental nuclear power plants. On December 21, 1951 it produced enough power to light the whole building.The worlds first nuclear power plant became operational on June 27, 1954 Obninsk Russia just outside Moscow.
How many people are needed to work at a coal power plant depends on the size and age of the plant, among other things.
One of the advantage of the Bataan nuclear power plant is that it only occupies a small piece of land. The Bataan nuclear power plant has also offered employment opportunities for many of the locals around.
The number of jobs that a nuclear power plant provides on the size of the plant. It also depends on whether they enrich their own uranium or not.
104 operating power reactors
I do, but many other people don't
This will be a hydro plant, or a series of them, not nuclear
Canada's first Nuclear Power Plant was the NPD Power Plant built in Rolphton Ontario, and began operation in 1962. It was the first of the CANDU power plant design which is now used around the world.
There is only one nuclear power plant in the Philippines. It is located in Bataan and was made in 1973.

None. The Connecticut Yankee nuclear power plant decommissioning was completed in 2007.

Iran's first nuclear power plant, Bushehr I, is expected to be operational in 2009. There are no current plans to complete the Bushehr II reactor, although the construction of 19 nuclear power plants is envisaged. Iran has announced that it is working on a new 360 MWe nuclear power plant to be located in Darkhoyen.
The Bataan nuclear power plant located in the Philippines technically never closed because its construction was stopped after the Three Mile Island nuclear meltdown in the US. Additionally, many citizens of Bataan protested the building of the nuclear power plant.
