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.
Where can you find nuclear energy source?
In most nuclear plants this is uranium-235
Where is the nuclear energy used the most and why?
The USA uses the most nuclear energy. There is the highest number of Nuclear Power Plants in the world. The reason is simple: USA needs energy and the easiest way to get it is building nuclear power plants.
What continents have the most nuclear power plants?
North America
Where is nuclear energy used most in the US?
Mostly on the east coast up by Canada :)
Why are most of the nuclear plants located in the east?
In the US most of the population is east of the Mississippi river, thus most of the electrical demand is there, therefor most power plants both nuclear and fossil fuel are there.
Where are the nuclear reactors located in the us?
Illinois has most plants of the US states. See www.nrc.gov for a map of all US nuclear plants.
