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.

In nuclear power plants where are fuel rods found and what function do they perform?
The Fuel Rods are primarily found inside the Reactor Core itself, It is mainly Uranium or Thorium which provides a nuclear reaction that produces intense amount of heat in whih where water is converted in to steam and made to turn the turbines.
Where is the source of nuclear energy found?
Nuclear energy is gained from atoms of any kind, thus the name 'Nuclear'. We generally only use heavy, radioactive atoms for nuclear energy though, as they contain lots of energy and are easier to split than others typically. The most common element used in Nuclear Energy plants is Uranium, which is mined naturally in many world locations.
What radioactive isotope is used in most nuclear power plants?
Most nuclear fuel for nuclear reactors in power plants is enriched uranium, though there are some plants that use "regular" uranium, like the plants using heavy water. There are also plants that use plutonium.Research and development is being done on nuclear plants using thorium as fuel.Surf on over to the Wikipedia articles to mine more data. You'll find links to them below.
Where can nuclear energy source be obtained?
Nuclear energy is found in nuclear power plants and in stars like the sun.
