enough to severely damage an entire city and take millions of lives
Nuclear energy/electricity varies, but in 2007, USA generated an average of 12.4 billion kilowatt-hours per-nuclear plant.
The US generates about 20% of its electric power from nuclear power.
Yes! A nuclear weapon (especially a small one (as much as small can be applied to nuclear weapons)) can miss enough to render the weapon tactically ineffective. This could happen with ICMS if the guidance system failed, sending the weapons (in a MIRV) into the ocean, or onto a remote piece of land.
1.7% of Pakistan electricity is produced by nuclear power stations
There are no nuclear power plants in that province
The average efficiency of a nuclear power station is about 33%, measured as the ratio of power electric over power thermal.
* Earthquake Richter 5.0 = 32 kilotons nuclear weapon, like was used at Nagasaki * Earthquake Richter 6.0 = 1 megaton nuclear weapon * Earthquake Richter 7.0 = 32 megaton nuclear weapon * Earthquake Richter 7.1 = 50 megaton nuclear weapon, Tsar Bomba, the largest nuclear weapon ever tested * Earthquake Richter 8.0 = 1 gigaton nuclear weapon, much larger than anything ever made

Basically, a conventional bomb uses a chemical explosive as the source of its destructive power. A nuclear weapon uses nuclear material to create an explosion. A nuclear explosion is much larger, and also emits ionizing radiation. A chemical weapon does not emit any radiation. A nuclear weapon's yield is measured in Kilotons (thousand tons). In very simplified terms, this means that a nuclear weapon with a 475 kiloton yield produces an explosion comparable to 475,000 tons of TNT (TNT is a chemical explosive). That's A LOT of TNT and it would take up a bit of space. A nuclear weapon with this yield may only be a few feet long and a foot wide, and the actual nuclear material may be the size of a grapefruit.

We have the ability to destroy the world with one nuclear weapon. An entire nuclear war could destroy the entire solar system if we had the opportunity to.
Indiana has no nuclear power plants.
if you are asking about generally around the world i dont know but to build one single power plant it is approx. $10 billion dollars.
