I can only find one site, Columbia Nuclear Station, 12miles NW of Richland. This is a GE Type5 reactor, rated output 1107 MWe.
There was a research reactor at university in Seattle but this is being decommissioned.
There are no nuclear plants in Washington DC
What else can I help you with?
Where are 5 nuclear power plants in California?
California has two sites I can find, see link below
How do nuclear plants affect sea life?
The negative effects of nuclear power plants on sea life is very limited as the sea water used for cooling is fully separated from the nuclear fuel. In addition, the regulations require that the sea water temperature rise due to its use for nuclear plants cooling should exceed 5 degrees centigrade. Many swimming beaches are located close to the nuclear power plants sites.
Does Belgium use nuclear power for its energy?
Yes, Belgium generates about half of its electricity from nuclear power. The country has seven nuclear reactors spread across two sites which play a significant role in providing energy to its citizens.

Where is nuclear power stored?
Nuclear power is generated in nuclear power plants. The energy is produced through nuclear reactions in the reactor core, which then generates heat. This heat is used to produce steam that drives turbines connected to generators, producing electricity.

How many coal power plants are worth one nuclear power plant?
The present nuclear units in the US go up to 1100 MWe, larger ones are planned, up to 1600MWe. So coal plants are somewhat similar, but on one site you could have several units so making a larger total. Most nuclear sites have two units.
Is fission process possible on earth?
About 3 billion years ago, when U235 was much more common, it did. Look up the Oklo natural reactors in Africa for an example. There were probably other sites too.Manmade nuclear power reactors.Manmade nuclear weapons.
Where are most nuclear power plant located in the US?
Have a look at the map of nuclear sites on the NRC website www.nrc.gov
How many nuclear sites in Connecticut?
None. The Connecticut Yankee nuclear power plant decommissioning was completed in 2007.
How many nuclear power plants do you have in the us that are active?
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.
