Why would people want to reprocess fuel rods from a nuclear power plant?
as it still has energy in it.
Can you run the dishwasher if the disposal is not working?
Yes, even it is not working, water will still run through it.Yes, even it is not working, water will still run through it.
What is a suitable fuel for a power plant?
Common fuels in use in fueled power plants are coal, oil, natural gas, biogas, and biomass. In nuclear reactors uranium and plutonium are often descibed as 'fuel'; thorium is a possibility that is still considered experimental.
Is Three Mile Island still in use?
Yes, it is still operational. The related link, below, has more detailed information about it.
Good things about nuclear energy?
Modern nuclear technology is VERY safe. The older technology was less safe of course, but even then there has only been one nuclear meltdown which has affected the public at Chernobyl, although a water reactor failed at Three Mile Island prompting its closing. Nuclear energy is "clean" in that it does not release pollution or toxins into the air or water, although the warmed water released into an ecosystem can devastate the local environment. Economically and politically it reduces our need for fossil fuels, namely oil, which for the most part is imported. Interestingly enough, Three Mile Island is an example of how incredibly safe the current technology really is. Despite the several botched opportunities to control the reactor and prevent the situation, the system still never went into an uncontrolled melt down or emitted significant volumes of radiation. The problem at Three Mile Island occurred because man made several bad assumptions about senors during a test and failed to respond correctly at almost every turn. the safeties in place over rode the inputs by man preventing the classic "china syndrome".
Is the Chernobyl nuclear plant still operating?
No
What is the name of the nuclear power plant which is currently leaking in Japan?
Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant is still leaking and it is hoped to be repaired by 2020.
What happend in chernobyl?
there was a meltdown at a nuclear plant that caused irrevoable damage and nuclear posioning for generations to come. It is still considered dangerous to go there.
Should you still use nuclear power?
Nuclear power is very good source of energy to turn to. The only problem is the storage of nuclear waste, that is left over after the nuclear reaction the power plant. The energy obtained from the nuclear power plant is very clean burning and more KJ/mole energy.
Is the Japanese earthquake still affecting people?
Yes by the nuclear worries caused by the power plant:)

Type of transformer in nuclear power plant?
The type of transformer in a nuclear power plant is the same as that in a fossil plant. After all, we are still using electrical alternators, typically producing 24KV, which needs to be stepped up to grid level, typically 138Kv, depending on the particular grid.
Could a reactor be fueled with americium?
The Russians are working on the problem of creating a nuclear reactor fuel out of americium, but they're still working the problem. In addition, they haven't built a reactor that uses americium as a nuclear fuel yet, either.
Is the Jervis Nuclear Power Plant still running?
Do you mean Jervis Bay in Australia? There was a proposal to build a plant there about 30 years ago but it never was even started. Australia has no nuclear power plants.
The world's nuclear power plant disaster occured in chernobyl a northern city in it became an independent from the former USSR in 1991?
The Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster happened in 1986, when the Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union. Now it is an independent country, though still closely related to Russia.
What is Reactor number four?
The #4 reactor is the reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (Pripyat, Ukraine) that exploded on April 26, 1986. It is still the worst nuclear accident to ever take place anywhere.
Is radiation still leaking from Chernobyl nuclear plant?
Yes. The government of Ukraine is wanting to invest 1 billion dollars to build another seal.
