A nuclear power plant is safe if it's designed on the most advanced safety measures.
Its accurate and permanent maintenance issues are essential to keep any nuclear power plant working safely.

Is it safe to work at a nuclear power plant?
not really because a power plant is very dangerous and it can harm you.
How safe is a city near a nuclear power plant?
Usually very, often safer than one near a coal plant.
Are generation 3 nuclear plants safe?
Most nuclear power plants are quite safe. The only ones that were inherently unsafe ware the Soviet-made power stations similar to Chernobyl, which did not include a reactor containment building. The nuclear powerplant at Fukushima Daichi in Japan was crippled not by a failure of the nuclear reactor, but by the tsunami following the magnitude 9+ earthquake. The plant survived the earthquake, and the plant operators shut down the reactor, but a nuclear reactor generates a LOT of heat, and takes a while to cool off. When the reactor isn't providing power to run the coolant pumps, external power must be supplied to run the pumps to cool the reactor. Fukushima Daichi had backup diesel generators for this purpose, and power from the electrical grid as a backup - but the tsunami knocked out the generators and knocked down the power grid all along the coastline. The new reactor designs are not susceptible to failure when the coolant pumps go offline.
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.
Can an improperly managed nuclear plant explode like a nuclear weapon?
No. A nuclear weapon requires a critical amount of highly enriched fuel to be rapidly brought together to cause a sudden explosion. Nuclear plants use low enriched fuel which could never cause a nuclear explosion, and this fuel is dispersed through the reactor in any case so it could not suddenly come together. Any nuclear plant explosions (like Chernobyl) are caused by the presence of high pressure steam and water circuits, not the fact of it being a nuclear plant, though certainly if there is an explosion of a pressure circuit and hence a loss of coolant, and disruption of the nuclear reactor, radioactivity may escape from the plant. This is the chief preoccupation of designers and operators, to keep the plant safe and prevent this ever happening.

Is nuclear power plant as dangerous as nuclear weapons?
No. Properly engineered nuclear power plants fail safe.
Is it safe to work or live in the nuclear power plant?
obviously not
Is it safe to work at a nuclear power plant?

Enviromental impact of nuclear power plant?
A nuclear power plant is considered safe and does not emit toxic fumes into the air. However, in case of a disaster such as an earthquake, a nuclear power plant may be damaged and it will leak radioactive particles into the air.
Is it safe to rebuild a retired nuclear power plant?
Well... when you rebuild you will normally fix problems, update the plant, and thereby making it safe...
Would you feel safe living within 5 miles of a nuclear power plant Why or why not?
No. If there is a disaster in a nuclear plant - and those DO happen now and then - this can affect populations hundreds, or even thousands, of kilometers from the power plant.
Did Obama want to create a nuclear plant?
Yes, Obama has come out in favor of building new, safe, nuclear power plants.
What is a nuclear powe?
A very safe form of energy that has a bi product of Di-Hydrogen Oxide, you know... WATER
How safe is a city near a nuclear power plant?
Usually very, often safer than one near a coal plant.
How successful were the government at dealing with the issues of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant?
The government were not successful because the government said to the civilians that the Fukushima Power plant was safe when it wasnt, there were radioactive waves going out and killing many people.
Would I be in danger if the generator of the nearby power plant exploded?
If you live near a nuclear power plant you might be in danger if it exploded. But the engineers are taking immense precautions to prevent any faults that would cause a plant to explode so you're safe.
