What is the largest problem with nuclear power?
Under present world financial conditions I would say that the very high costs of building nuclear plants is a big problem. In the long term, dealing with the radioactive waste and decommissioning the plants safely.
Can workers in nuclear power plants be seriously affected by radioactivity in uranium?
In a nuclear power plant (nuclear reactor) the radioactivity of uranium is not a problem in normal work conditions.
What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
Is nuclear power a safe form of energy?
Nope. Nuclear power is very enviromentally friendly and very efficient, but accidents can cause great damages. For instance, one of the major problems with the tsunami in Japan was all the nuclear plants that were destroyed.
Where is nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is generated in nuclear power plants, of which there are many.
What waste problems of nuclear power plants is NOT a problem with a coal burning power plant?
fear of the waste.
What are some drawbacks with using uranium to produce electricity?
- possible problem with pollution - possible problems with some accidents in nucear fuel plants or in nuclear reactors - nuclear wastes
Different ways of transforming energy have different environmental effects what waste problems of nuclear power plants is NOT a problem with a coal-burning power plant?
You don't list the waste problems, so how can I answer? However radioactive waste is not a problem for a coal burning plant
Nuclear power plants can produce energy more cheaply and with less pollution them plants that use fossil fuels why are there not more nuclear power plants dad plants that burn fossil fuels?
The problem of disposing large amounts of nuclear waste is not resolved.
Why do we not explode a ground level detonation low yield nuclear bomb on the nuclear plants in Japan to stop the continued problems or encasing the plants?
You are just crazy!! This would scatter radioactive contamination over a huge area and contribute absolutely nothing to cleaning up and containing the present problem.
How do you prevent Nuclear Disasters?
High safety measures at the nuclear plants is to be observed if the nuclear disasters is to be prevented. The problems identified at the nuclear plant should be immediately rectified to prevent the nuclear disasters.
What is the problems with japan nuclear power plants?
The problems currently being experienced are due to the combination of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami

What are 4 significant problems with nuclear power plants?
pollutes the air thats all i know sorry
What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
What are the financial costs and benefits to using nuclear energy?
One of the benefits is that the plants almost never experience problems and it only takes a few people to run the plants.There are several inherent design problems:the plants are designed to produce plutonium for nuclear weapons as a side productthe plants are fuelled by relatively rare uranium rather than the more abundant thorium leading to an eventual fuel shortage due to problem abovedue to the use of uranium as the fuel the plants can meltdown unlike thorium reactors which just "die" when problems are encountered
