It's like any industrial development, some people won't like it because it spoils a nice green area, others will welcome the chance of employment or a boost to their own businesses. Some will worry about the nuclear aspects, some won't. As far as plants in the US go, they are all well engineered and operated so there is no need for concern about radioactivity, but most people would not choose to live within a mile or two, I'm sure, and that is understandable.
What else can I help you with?
Why are less nuclear power plants being built?
For this, you can blame public media,nuclear power can be good or bad but, if the people get scared they will not want to live near or go anywhere near them. Take the recent nuclear news for example
Is nuclear reaction good or bad?
Nuclear reactions can be both good and bad. They can produce clean energy, like in nuclear power plants, but also be used to create nuclear weapons which have destructive capabilities. The key is in how nuclear reactions are managed and controlled.
Can nuclear energy kill people?
Yes it can. If a nuclear power plant melts down radioactive material is put into the atmosphere, land, water. A good example of this is in Russia where Chernobyl had a meltdown. Nothing can live there today and won't for another 100 years.
Why do people not want to live near Nuclear Power stations?
People may not want to live near nuclear power stations due to concerns about safety and the risk of accidents, such as meltdowns or radiation leaks. Additionally, there is a perception that living near a nuclear power station could harm property values and potentially pose long-term health risks.
Is it safe to work or live in the nuclear power plant?
obviously not
What is the population of Ukraine chernobyl?
Because of the disaster at the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl, not many people live there. Chernobyl, Ukraine has a population of 500.
Is nuclear energy good for the environment?
No, nuclear energy is not good for the environment because after they get the energy there is nuclear waste which is radioactive and is NOT good for the environment.It can be if well controlled, as no carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases are produced. However if things go wrong as in Japan now (March 2011) then it is definitely not good for the environment or the people who live in it.
Should you have nuclear power stations?
yes because you need energy to live and the scients couldn't find any other waysinsted f the nuclear power station
Percent of US using nuclear energy?
About 19% of the electricity used is from nuclear power, but all the lower 48 states of the United States use some nuclear power. Alaska and Hawaii are separate. Electrical power is conducted on a grid. The power goes into the grid from various power stations, and is used by various users. If a power plant goes down, the grid distributes power continuously because other plants continue and take up the slack. There are not many people who can say their power comes from a specific power plant, and most of those are probably off grid users (people who generate their own power). One estimate is 180,000 families, which might be 900,000 people, are off grid. In addition, roughly 700,000 people who live in Alaska and 1,300,000 in Hawaii have power that does not come from nuclear plants. That totals about 2,180,000, or about 0.7% of the population of the United States who use no nuclear power.
Is it bad or good to live by nuclear station?
depends which country, some countries have nuclear stations that are very safe to live near others are totally different
Is it dangerous to live by a nuclear power plant?
yes, the radiations will come out of the power plant and may cause damage to your body
Why is Chernobyl forbidden?
The area where the city of Chernobyl is, is highly radioactive after the nuclear disaster at the nearby power plant in 1986. A few people still live in the city, but the power plant is abandoned as is the nearby city Pripyat.
