How much nuclear energy is used in Indiana?
Indiana has no nuclear power plants.
How much nuclear power does Canada generate?
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.to much
What other names are there for nuclear energy?
Other names for nuclear energy include atomic energy, nuclear power, and atomic power.
How much power does France get from nuclear reactors?
About 70% of France's electricity is generated from nuclear power, making it one of the largest users of nuclear energy in the world. France has 56 nuclear reactors in operation across 19 nuclear power plants.
Does japan use only nuclear power?
No. Much of their power comes from coal.
What are the pros and cons of coal wind power and nuclear power?
I don't know which is cheaper, but nuclear is far safer than coal:Nuclear power plants do not pollute the environment because of strict regulations governing their waste. The only danger from nuclear power plants are due to accidents like meltdowns or explosions. There have been a number of nuclear power plant incidents, but altogether, not including Chernobyl, these have only killed around 13 people. Only the Chernobyl incident resulted in widespread loss of life, estimated at around 6,000 people.For comparison, coal power plant pollution kills as many people as Chernobyl every few weeks.The amount of radioactive waste produced by nuclear power plants is about 3 metric tons per terawatt-hour, while the amount of radioactive waste produced by burning coal is about 2 metric tons per terawatt-hour. However, the nuclear waste is contained and tightly regulated. The coal radioactive waste is dumped into the atmosphere as ash or stored in ponds with much less regulation.Because the coal power plant radioactive waste is dumped into the environment, and the nuclear power plant waste is stored safely, coal power plants actually irradiate you 100 times as much as nuclear power plants:You are exposed to 5 person-rem/year of radiation from nuclear power plants.You are exposed to 500 person-rem/year of radiation from coal power plants.Every 2 days, coal power plants in the US release as much radioactive pollution as the Three Mile Island disaster.
Does nuclear power pollute?
Not really. You receive 100 times as much radiation from coal power plant pollution than you do from nuclear power plant leaks.
How much energy is watsted when it is produced in a nuclear power station?
The average efficiency of a nuclear power station is about 33%, measured as the ratio of power electric over power thermal.
