Which country/state is it in?
India has 19 nuclear power stations all together.
Ireland has many power stations, but no nuclear ones, which you may be referring to. There are risks associated with nuclear power stations and to date Ireland does not have one. Power in power stations is generated by peat, wind and water, amongst other things.
There are a total of 6 nuclear power plants or stations located in India. They are located in New Dehli, Narora, Rajasthan, Kakrapar, Tarapur, and Kaiga.
18 powerstations....... without nuclear powerstations
There are no nuclear power plants in Australia. There is one small working nuclear reactor at the Lucas Heights research facility in Sydney.
Uranium is the heavy metal found in nuclear power stations. Uranium has the atomic number of 92, and it has many applications in nuclear technology. A very common isotope of uranium is uranium-238.
I am not sure but i know there are power plants in 31 of the 50 united states.
Many nuclear power stations in different countries-mainly the US, UK, France, Canada, Russia, and others.
In China, approximately two power stations are being built each week.
No. Nuclear power should be encouraged. However, there have to be limits and controls because it is not appropriate for nuclear proliferation to continue.
¥There was a leak of dangerous gas from Hinkley point B nuclear power station in 2004.¥In 1986 the Chernobyl nuclear power station in the Ukraine suffered a melt down. This led to 56 deaths.
You don't need nuclear power, energy can be generated using other methods, fossil fuels, hydro-electric etc. However nuclear power does reduce a countries reliance on fossil fuel, which can be particularly important for countries with few fossil fuel reserves of their own. Nuclear power stations do not release CO2 into the atmosphere so do not directly contribute to global warming. Many countries are looking at an investment in nuclear power to help meet CO2 emissions targets. Nuclear power stations are also required to make plutonium for nuclear weapons. Plutonium does not occur naturally and can only be made from uranium in nuclear reactors. Any country with a nuclear weapons program will have a civilian nuclear power industry for this reason.
