Where should a nuclear power plant be placed and how far should it be from residential areas?
A nuclear poweplant needs water to cool its uranium so its a good Idea to pplace it near Rivers. The sea is not safe due to the risk of tsunamis. It should be at least 400 Kilo meters away from the general population.
Why were nuclear power plants built near water?
Well they are built to cool the HUGE amounts of heat generated by the Uranium fuel that usually exceeds 700 Degree Celcius. A nuclear powerplant is usually built near the ocean and the water is turned to stean that turns a turbine which generates energy.
Where can you find insulators near power lines?
look up the pole
Why are nuclear power stations bad?
Strictly speaking, nuclear power stations aren't really that bad, since every method of getting energy has pros and cons. The disadvantages of nuclear power stations are that they create some waste products. These things are radioactive and waste with high radiation output (over 90% of waste does not emit more radiation than a cup of coffee) will cause long term damage to anyone staying near it for awhile. Around 90% of the available energy in the fuel rods when they are removed from the reactor after three fuel cycles (the typical period). If the highly radioactive fission fragments were extracted and the fissionable material reprocessed into new fuel (as they have been doing in France for decades), the remaining volume of radioactive material would be significantly reduced. Another disadvantage is that nuclear power stations may melt down, irradiating the land around them. There is actually a low chance of a meltdown, but when it does happen, an entire region can be contaminated and poisoned.
What are the bad things uses about hydroelectric power?
The dams that are made in order to harness the power of the water floods the near by area !
Who was the founder of chernobyl?
Chernobyl wad the nuclear power plant, built by the Soviet Union. It was near the city if Pripyat, which was built in 1979 by the Soviet government to support the power plant.
Where computers are not used?
In an IGLOO in Alaska, or near the Fukishima nuclear power plant in Japan.
How does nuclear power plants produce electricity?
Using nuclear fission, generators are turned.
Jaitapur nuclear power plant is in which city?
The port of Jaitapur is near the village of Madban, in India.Ans: RatnagiriThe Jaitapur Nuclear Power is a proposed six unit facility with a total of 9900 MWe capacity.
Near what major Russian city was the Chernobyl nuclear power plant located?
Chernobyl its a Ukrainian city, and located at north of Ukraine. THERE IS NO ONE RUSSIAN CITY, my stupid friend.
Why do you think choosing correct location for a plant is significant Draft a plan to locate a nuclear power plant?
Choosing the correct location for a nuclear power plant is important since it is supposed to be near a water and near the raw materials.
Would it be safe to build a nuclear power plant in a city in order to supply the city with alternative power?
Most nuclear plants operate their whole lives entirely safely, but as we have seen in Japan recently, things can go wrong occasionally and its best not to have too many people living near the plant. Transmission lines from the plant at say 20 miles can easily bring the power to the city instaed.
Who can use nuclear power?
Technically, anyone who lives near a nuclear power plant and, i suppose, gets permission, can use nuclear energy as a cheaper alternative to electricity
Where computers are not being used?
In an IGLOO in Alaska, or near the Fukishima nuclear power plant in Japan.
Where is one power plant that uses nuclear energy?
Palo Verdes near Phoenix, AZ is one.
How do you catch zaptos on Pokemon SoulSilver?
to get zapdos, you have to go to the power plant, near cerulean city. Zapdos is next to the power plant
Which country build the first nuclear power station?
The USA built the first nuclear power plant, EBR-1, near Arco, Idaho, which was rated at about 100 KW of power. First power production took place on December 20, 1951. The former USSR built the first nuclear power plant that supplied a power grid. That occurred on June 27, 1954. It was the Obninsk Power Plant, and produced around 5 MW of power.
