What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
A state government is trying to decide between using windmills or a nuclear power plant. What advantage does nuclear power have over wind power?
Nuclear Power can be used in any weather conditions
How realistic would it be to use nuclear energy?
there are pros and cons for using nuclear power (as with all power sources). pros of using nuclear power are: it can produce at lot more power than a combustion reaction can e.g burning coal, uranium and plutonium (used in the reactors of nuclear power stations) is fairly cheap. cons of using of using nuclear power include: the waste products of nuclear reactions are incredibly dangerous and take thousands of years to become un-reactive, nuclear power stations also have hefty maintenance requirements, cost a lot to build and don't last as long as more conventional power stations. So to address your question- people are divided over whether the pros of nuclear power outweigh the cons. it may be realistic to nuclear power, however it is very unlikely that it will be the world's main power source.
What country which is committed to using nuclear power to generate electricity and which has the majority of its electricity needs provided by nuclear power is?
You probably mean France
What energy do nuclear power plants convert nuclear energy to?
Nuclear power plants convert nuclear energy to electrical.sometimes it can be used to enrich radioactive nuclei which can later used in missile warheads. But using thorium as a source of nuclear power we can't enrich nuclei but we can use for electrical power generation which might have more energy than former
What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?

How does nuclear power plants produce electricity?
Using nuclear fission, generators are turned.

What country leads the world in safely developing and using nuclear power?
The U.S. is the most advanced country in regards to nuclear power in warfare, although it takes all actions against using it.
When did America start using nuclear power?
1957 (Shippingport PWR)
Negitive consequences of using nuclear power?
Nucular desises can occur
