How much energy is produced in nuclear energy?

Answer 1

Spent fuel accounts for 3 percent of a nuclear power plant's waste. For every new fuel assembly loaded there is an old one which must be stored carefully, under water at first to allow much of the decay heat to reduce. In the US this is done at the power station site, as there is no long term storage available elsewhere and no program for dismantling discharged fuel. Other sources of low level waste are comparatively easy to deal with.

Answer 2

Nuclear power costs can be around the same as a coal-fired plant, but over time the initial costs for the plant to operate go down.

Remember, nuclear energy produces almost 8,000x the amount per weight in 1:1 ratios, so while nuclear fuel costs significantly more, it is more cost effective.

Answer 3

In the US, about 20 percent of total electricity generation

Answer 4

energy efficiency for nuclear power is 25%

hope this has answered your question

Answer 5
