It is essential to an industrialised country to have reliable electricity supplies. The Governments job is to try to predict the future demand, and agree with the industry how much should be built over a period, and to give help in getting permits and licences. The NRC is a government body which does this in the US for nuclear plants, and all countries have something similar to licence nuclear plants to be built and operated. In the context of global warming predictions, the government will also have to guide industry to build the right sort of plants, and this may include subsidies for alternative energy sources and penalties for carbon emissions.

Where are nuclear power stations located in France?
See the attached link for info on plants in France
What are some factors that make environmentalists against nuclear power stations In other words what are the major environmental effects of a nuclear power station?
Nuclear power stations use local water supplies to cool their reactors and dump a lot of ambient heat into the environment as a result. Many also have concerns about the radiation in the plant and its effects on the environment should the plant become breached and the fact that the nuclear waste produced by the plant will remain dangerous for thousands of years wherever it ends up being stored. However, it should be noted that a gram of uranium can produce the equivalent energy of tons of coal, so nuclear plants produce reliable power without burning fossil fuels.
Where does electrisity come from?
electrisity comes from big electricity generators .
A utilities company is planning to build several power stations in Canada. The company is considering alternative ways to generate power...read comment?

List four costs of using fossil fuels in thermal power stations. b. List four benefits of using fossil fuels in thermal power stations.?
What percentage of power stations are nuclear in Russia?
At present nuclear capacity is about 10 percent of the total, but provides more like 15 percent of total consumption. See the link below for more details

Should you build nuclear power stations in the UK?
This is a matter of opinion. Currently I do not live in the UK. However, There are potentials and dangers of Nuclear Power. If there is a scarcity of electricity and the population trends are rising you may need to add some more power to your local grids.
Should people build more nuclear power stations in the UK?
Yes, because nuclear power stations induce energy from a nucleus. That nucleus being from the most common element called Uranium. Unlike power plants that burn coal which is a fossil fuel which leads to globabl warming.... Nuclear power stations dont BURN anything. they just establish nucleuses in a 'chain reaction'. where more and more nucleuses mutate and doubles and doubles whilst giving out TONS of energy. nuclear is a clean process. But it is extremely expensive to build and it would take a long time to make the nuclear reactor and apparatus... they need to be patient. :)

Where is nuclear How and where it is used?
Nuclear Power is used in power stations to produce electricity
Should nuclear power stations be built?
No. Nuclear power should be encouraged. However, there have to be limits and controls because it is not appropriate for nuclear proliferation to continue.

yes
What waste is produced from nuclear power stations?
nuclear waste
