Nuclear plants don't need any chemicals to run, apart from treatment of the feedwater to avoid corrosion, but that is similar to fossil fired stations.

Will these coal energy last forever?
no it will not we will run out of the plant material used to make coal
Will we ever run out of oxygen?
It is unlikely the Earth will run out of oxygen as long as there is an adequate amount of plant life and animals. Animals produce oxygen from the CO2 animals emit and vice versa.
When will crude oil run out and why?
Crude will never run out, but it will run terrifyingly short due to the population of planet earth and the dependency on oil. Crude oil is a renewable resource although some say it is not. Oil is created over millions of years of temperature and pressure on decaying matter such as plant life or animal life. Oil will make itself just as it did when we discovered it. Though with the amount consumed today, the amount will never reach a sustainable level.
Why is energy released when the nuclear reactions take place?
In general, energy is released when nuclear reactions take place because atomic nuclei are moving into lower energy states. To move to a lower energy state, energy must be released, as you might have guessed. And many nuclear fission and fusion reactions accomplish this. Note that there are some nuclear reactions that do not release energy, but actually require it. One example is the fusion of lighter elements into the heavy elements beyond iron. When stars, which are giant nuclear fusion engines, are young, the energy that is released in the fusion processes promotes continued fusion. But at some point, they run out of fuel. Nuclear fusion that creates trans-iron elements requires that energy be put into the reaction, and that's where supernova event has value. All elements heavier than iron are created in a supernova.
Why should not chemicals be released in the drain?
External household drains are not always connected to the sewerage system, but are designed to take rainwater only. The rain water may then be run off into a local streams or ditches, or to a nearby sewerage farm. Also, mixing some chemicals, even when disposed of into the the sewerage system, could cause an explosion or the release of a toxic gas.
Does Nuclear Energy make sense for the environment?
A well built and run nuclear plant has virtually no effect on the environment
How can you help make nuclear power?
The average man cannot "help" make nuclear power. Once the plant is online, there is a crew hired by the owner of the plant to run it. I guess you could apply for any job openings at your nearest plant.
Why is a power plant an example of nuclear energy?
There are different types of "power plant". Some run on nuclear energy, others don't.
What nuclear power plant did E. James Ferland run?
Millstone Nuclear Power Station
How many employees does it need to run a nuclear power plant?
about 10 people
Do any power plant today run run on nuclear fusion why or why not?
No, because the highest amount of energy needed in a nuclear fusion is 40,000,000 K, which is only known to occur on the sun.
How much does it cost to run a nuclear power plant per year?
It takes about 8-10 mn $ to setup a nuclear power plant. but the resources used in it are inexpensive common in the earth's crust
What is the purpose of the heat in the nuclear power plant?
To boil water into steam to run (turn) turbines.
What parts make up a nuclear power plant?
about the same as any other power plant nuclear supplies the heat to boil the water to run the turbine to turn the generator 90 tons of uranium doesnt take as many barges as 252,000,000tons of coal so the plant doesnt need to be built by a river can be inland with only road access
Which of the following practices that are needed to run a nuclear power plant has a negative impact on both air and water?
Well, it's not actually needed to run a nuclear power plant, but it always happens and it does negatively impact air and water: The anti-nuke-kooks pi**ing and moaning.
What is the average cost to run a typical nuclear power plant?
It'l be in the range of £100-£200 million a month
What is power plant nuclear power used for?
Power plants generate electricity and the electricity is used just like any other energy source would be, they power cities and make stuff run
