Have there been accidents at nuclear power plants?
Yes, quite a few, most totally minor industrial accidents not even having anything to do with the reactor.
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
Is nuclear power a safe form of energy?
Nope. Nuclear power is very enviromentally friendly and very efficient, but accidents can cause great damages. For instance, one of the major problems with the tsunami in Japan was all the nuclear plants that were destroyed.
What has the author I Wang written?
I. Wang has written: 'SBLOCA analysis for nuclear plant shutdown operations' -- subject(s): Nuclear power plants, Safety measures, Accidents, Evaluation
What are the application of nuclear fission?
1. Nuclear power plants 2. Nuclear weaponsNuclear power plants
How many deaths in the us at nuclear power plants?
None due to radiation, but there must have been a few due to normal industrial accidents.
Why doesn't Britain have any nuclear power plants?
Britain does have nuclear power plants.
Do nuclear power plants pollute more than coal power plants?
No. Nuclear power is more efficient because nuclear power is used as splitting atoms, making big bursts of energy, whereas coal power is simply burning coal. So nuclear power uses uranium fission to create energy (electricity), whereas coal power burns coal, emitting carbon. (Mind you, nuclear energy leaves behind radioactive waste - that is arguably easier to deal with for the time being. Not to mention that accidents at nuclear plants can have devastating environmental effects.

What pollution problems are associated with nuclear power plants?
Very little, provided the spent fuel is stored carefully, and there are no serious accidents in operating the plant
Which is more dangerous nuclear power or coal and oil?
Presumably you mean nuclear power plants, not nuclear weapons. Most people would I think say nuclear power is more dangerous, but just look at the figures. The worst accident ever was at Chernobyl and I think about 50 people lost their lives directly, though more may get cancer eventually. Many people get cancer without nuclear power of course. But just think about how many coal miners have been killed in mining accidents, and how many have been killed in accidents on oil rigs, especially off-shore ones. This will put it in perspective. In a normal year, no-one is killed in nuclear plants due to nuclear accidents, though there are bound to be some normal type industrial accidents, and in fact as far as I know there has never been a death in a US nuclear plant due to a nuclear cause.
