It provides a good deal of electricity, 19 percent in the US. It also provides useful radioisotopes for medical and industrial use
The US generates about 20% of its electric power from nuclear power.
By producing electricity, which we all use, and not producing carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas.
It is 28% nuclear power.
There are 104 operating power reactors in the US. See www.nrc.gov for maps of these locations and further details. You can also find details of new applications on this website.
No but the U.S. is the strongest nuclear power.
Illinois is were nuclear power is most used

from power plants
104 operating Nuclear Power units
it help us by giving electricity . and when earth quack occurs it does not discharge harmful radioactive materials outside. there fore it stops and cool the earth quack
In the US between 25 and 30 percent of the electrical power is supplied by Nuclear Reactors.
You can get a list of US states with nuclear power plants from the NRC website. See link below
