Canada has 19 nuclear power plants providing 13.5 GW of power.
Canada has one of the highest usages of electrical energy in the world, with an average of 14,000 kWh per person each year.
In 2011 Canada generated 90 TWh of electrical energy by nuclear generation. If the same energy had been produced by carbon-fuel plants, the carbon dioxide dumped into Canada's atmosphere would have totalled 90 million tons - that is 46 billion cubic metres.

What else can I help you with?
How much electricity does India propose to generate through nuclear power by the year 2000?
It is now 2009 so this question is out of date
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.
What is it called when fuel rods in a nuclear power plant generate so much heat they start to melt?
It is called a nuclear meltdown when fuel rods in a nuclear power plant generate so much heat that they start to melt. This can lead to the release of radioactive material and poses a serious threat to both human health and the environment.
How fast does nuclear power produce electricity?
With a nuclear reactor running at operating temperature and with all the associated systems on line, the reactor can increase its power output in seconds to accommodate a larger demand for electric power. If we have to start up the reactor and warm up all the steam lines and such, it takes longer to begin to generate electricity. Nuclear power generator plants generate heat, which heats a closed circulating liquid that is radioactive. That heat is transferred to another liquid, which is not radioactive, is converted to steam, which turns turbine generators which generates electricity. Once everything is up and running, it all happens at a fast rate. A much less efficient method, but quicker and less complicated, directs the nuclear plants heat to thermocouples or some similar technology to generate electricity immediately.
How much electrical energy in joules does a nuclear power reactor generate in one day?
The amount of electrical energy generated by a nuclear power reactor in one day can vary depending on its capacity and efficiency. However, a typical nuclear power reactor can generate around 1-2 billion joules of electrical energy per day.

Can a nuclear plant generate as much power as a coal plant?
Single nuclear PWR units can now range up to 1600 MWe output, so I think that is comparable with any single coal fired unit

What things use Nuclear Energy?
Nuclear energy is used in power plants to generate electricity, in nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers, in medical imaging and treatments such as MRIs and cancer therapy, and in research and development for scientific exploration.
What do humans use fission for?
One use is in nuclear power plants to produce steam and turn turbines to generate electricity.Nuclear bombs ^.^
How much electricity does nuclear power plants produce?
Nuclear power plants, on average, can generate around 1,000 megawatts of electricity, which is enough to power a city of about 800,000 to 1 million people. The total electricity output of a nuclear power plant will vary depending on factors like the plant's size, design, and operational efficiency.
