What are some benefits of nuclear power plants?
Reduction in Air Pollution. Nuclear power can also be part of a strategy to address carbon emissions. Nuclear power plants emit no carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, or nitrous oxides.
What is product of a nuclear power plant?
Nucler plants create nuclear energy by separaiting atoms
What Power plant that uses uranium as a source of energy?
Uranium (or plutonium) is a source of energy (nuclear fuel) in nuclear power plants.
Why aren't nuclear power plants built in deserts?
Nuclear power plants need a source of cooling. Water is the usual source of cooling, and lots of it, making a desert location unrealistic.
What are the workers at nuclear power plants called?
I don't think it is much different to those working in conventional power plants, but one additional type of duty is Radiation Health Physics, which is not needed except on nuclear plants
Are nuclear plants dangerous to operate?
No, there is a small risk, but their energy output is much higher than that of other power sources
Who provides nuclear energy?
The companies that own and operate nuclear reactors in power plants
Is nuclear power plant as dangerous as nuclear weapons?
No. Properly engineered nuclear power plants fail safe.
Why nuclear power plants are used as base load plants?
Nuclear power plants are capital intensive power plants and hence it is more economic to operate them at high capacity factors (or as base load plants)
Are nuclear power plants inexpensive to operate?
No due to the chemicals that are needed
How many nuclear power plants operate in the US as of 2009?
104 reactors
Why do we have nuclear power plants?
We have nuclear power plants to generate electric power without the generation of green house gasses. Yes, these complex systems pose risks, but we do our best to design and build them so they operate safely.
Is the radioactive waste from nuclear power plants dangerous?
It contains a higher amount of radioactivity
Are nuclear power plants dangerous to operate and what statistics prove that this is not really true?
They are potentially dangerous, but statistics show that with over 500 operating reactors in the world, the number of serious releases of radioactivity amount to only one, to my knowledge, that is the Chernobyl incident in 1986.
How are nuclear power plants?
by nuclear power ¬.¬
What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
What are the application of nuclear fission?
1. Nuclear power plants 2. Nuclear weaponsNuclear power plants
