What is nuclear energy prohibitive?

The term "nuclear energy prohibitive" means nuclear energy cannot be used. The exact reason depends on circumstances, but, in most cases, the problem is that nuclear power plant's output is constant, so, for example, if a nuclear plant powers a city, you need to divert excess power at night, when that city's consumption goes down. Hence, municipal electricity is nuclear energy prohibitive.


When was the first nuclear renewable energy developed?

The first ever Nuclear Power Plant was built 1954, at Obninsk in the former USSR. It produced 5 MW electric to the power grid. The first commercial nuclear power plant was Calder Hall, in Sellafield, England, built in 1956, producing 50 MW - later, 200 MW. The first US nuclear power plant was Shippingport Pennsylvania, in 1957, producing 60 MW.


Do any provinces in Canada use a nuclear power source?

Nuclear generated electrical energy is fed into the grid and distributed, you can't say just where it goes and how it mixes with other types of generation. I don't know of any city that relies on nuclear alone. In a large country like the US there are large areas without nuclear plants, but in a state like Illinois with a number of nuclear plants, all cities will have some nuclear and some from other sources.

Advantage and disadvantage of nuclear power energy?

I think it's like many other things man has invented: fire, the wheel, aircraft, for example, they can all be used for good and bad, which means they have been and will continue to be used so, as long as man exists.
