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.
How many nuclear reactors are there in a nuclear power plant?
There is no fixed number, but most nuclear stations have two reactors. These are usually run quite separately, with separate generating equipment, so that whilst one reactor is being refuelled the other can continue to produce power. Some stations have more than two reactors, but usually then they have been built over a long time period and the later ones may be of an improved design.
Do you need nuclear power?
You don't need nuclear power, energy can be generated using other methods, fossil fuels, hydro-electric etc. However nuclear power does reduce a countries reliance on fossil fuel, which can be particularly important for countries with few fossil fuel reserves of their own. Nuclear power stations do not release CO2 into the atmosphere so do not directly contribute to global warming. Many countries are looking at an investment in nuclear power to help meet CO2 emissions targets. Nuclear power stations are also required to make plutonium for nuclear weapons. Plutonium does not occur naturally and can only be made from uranium in nuclear reactors. Any country with a nuclear weapons program will have a civilian nuclear power industry for this reason.
