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 are nuclear power plants rarely found in the desert?
Nuclear power plants require huge amounts of water for cooling, a resource not available in large quantities in most deserts. However, your question is not completely true as there are nuclear power plants in the desert. Palo Verde in Arizona is an example.
Why aren't there many nuclear energy on the west-coast?
A matter of primary importance is the fact that nuclear power plants need to be built to withstand the heaviest earthquakes likely to happen in the are in which they are sited. The west coast is home to the majority of earthquakes in the United States. Nuclear power plants also need large amounts of cooling water. Most nuclear power plants are inland, on fresh water, and the west coast does not have a large amount of inland water.
Why are nuclear power plants are located in coastal areas?
Nuclear power plants are generally located in coastal areas, or near large lakes, because they need a reliable large scale heat sink.
Why would a country choose to become nuclear free?
These are the 3 main reasons: 1) It will not have to worry of radiation exposure or failure of nuclear power plants. 2) It will not have to siphon off large amounts of money to Nuclear Development programs. 3) It will not be a Target.
How is holding nuclear waste good for the coomunity?
The government and companies will pay states and cities money for using their land for storage of nuclear waste. Nuclear waste can be dangerous, but when stored safely it is no danger. Nuclear waste is produced by nuclear power plants, which produce large amounts of cheap electricity.
Does nuclear fission have small amounts of mass?
Yes compared with fossil fueled power plants of the same electric power output.
Do nuclear reactions produce huge amounts of energy by transforming tiny amounts of matter?
Yes, it is actually annihilation of matter that produces the energy in nuclear fission, which is the reaction that powers power plants
How are nuclear power plants?
