There are 104 commercial nuclear power reactors in the US. See the related question below.
False. Nuclear power is used to generate about 25% of the electricity in the United States, and about 75% of the electricity in France. Nuclear power is far safer than coal-fired power plants, and produces no harmful emissions, if you care about such things.
In 2007, US nuclear power plants generated 806.5 billion KWh. This was 19.4 percent of total US electricity. 69 PWR and 35 BWR reactors contributed to this total. Source: Nuclear Energy Institute, www.nei.org
There are many more than three states in the US with nuclear plants. Go to www.nrc.gov for a complete list
See www.nrc.gov for a list of all US states with nuclear power plants
104 operating reactors
Illinois has most plants of the US states. See www.nrc.gov for a map of all US nuclear plants.

No new nuclear plants have been built in the US in the past 20 years. The Watts Bar plant was licenced in 1996, but had been built much earlier. The last plant actually built was the River Bend plant in Louisiana, which was licenced in 1986.
There are actually 104 operating reactors in the US. See website www.nrc.gov for details
There are currently 62 commercially operated nuclear power plants and 100 nuclear reactors in the United States. They are located in 31 states with the most being in the state of Illinois.
See www.nrc.gov, there is a list of all states with nuclear power reactors.
104, see www.nrc.gov
There are 104 operating commercial units at 64 sites. There are also 34 research reactors at varoius universities. These numbers do NOT include government reactors operated by the military or DOE.

There are 104 operating nuclear power reactors in the US, but many states do not have any whilst some like Illinois have a number. You can see a map at www.nrc.gov
