Why are nuclear power stations built in remote areas away from cities?
Nuclear power stations are typically built in remote areas to minimize the risk to large populations in case of an accident or radioactive release. The distance from urban centers also helps mitigate the potential for environmental contamination and ensures that emergency response efforts can be more effectively managed. Additionally, remote locations often provide access to necessary resources, such as water for cooling, and reduce land use conflicts with residential or commercial developments.
Where do countries do their nuclear tests?
Usually in remote isolated areas.
Should nuclear power plants be built in tsunami prone areas?

What is level of radiation in japan?
The level of radiation in Japan varies depending on the location and proximity to sources of radiation such as nuclear power plants or areas affected by past nuclear disasters like Fukushima. The Japanese government closely monitors radiation levels across the country using a network of monitoring stations and regularly publishes data for public access. It is important for individuals in Japan to stay informed about radiation levels in their area and follow any guidelines or recommendations provided by authorities to ensure their safety and well-being.
Why are Britain's nuclear power stations all built on west coast?
Britain's nuclear power stations were built on the west coast due to historical reasons, such as the availability of cooling water from the sea and proximity to population centers. This location also reduces the risk of radioactive contamination spreading over densely populated areas in case of an accident. However, newer nuclear power stations are being built inland to diversify the locations.
In new zealand and japan volcanic areas are sources of power this power is known as?
In New Zealand and Japan it is known as geothermal power, which is power extracted from heat stored in the earth. As of 2010 there are 10 geothermal power stations operational or under construction in New Zealand. Japan has 15 such plants.

What is an antarctic station?
Nations who agreed to participate in research about the health of planet earth -- by signing the Antarctic Treaty -- conduct research from stations established on the continent. Stations include work areas, living areas and storage areas.
Where is background radiation lowest in the UK?
Background radiation levels in the UK are generally lowest in remote rural areas far from nuclear sites, industrial areas, and urban centers. Specific locations include parts of the Scottish Highlands, the Lake District, and the South West Peninsula.
Why is subsistence farming done in remote areas?

Why do hydroelectric power stations have to be built in hilly areas?
I don't know about hilly areas (many stations are next to dams), but they have to be built where the water flows through the turbines by gravity (i.e., does not have to be pumped).
