How much electricity is produced by nuclear power?
1.7% of Pakistan electricity is produced by nuclear power stations
How much energy input is wasted at the power stations?
2/3 of energy input is wasted at the power station.
Why don't all countries use wave power?
There are a number of reasons why no country actually uses much wave power at the moment. The technology is still not fully worked out. Experimental stations do generate power, but not in significant amounts.
How much more expensive is solar energy than fossil fuels?
Fossil fuel power stations typically cost about $2.1 dollars per watt to build solar stations around $7 at present. The efficiency is increasing and costs are falling. This of course does not represent the cost to the consumer. In addition it does not take into account all the various other costs and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Fuel (fossil stations), poor sunlight (solar stations). Maintenance costs are similar for single plants but solar stations do not have the capacity of fossil fuel stations.
What material does a nuclear power station use for energy?
Most nuclear power stations use uranium enriched to 3% uranium-235 isotope. The nuclear power stations in France include some reprocessed plutonium mixed with the enriched uranium. A small number of nuclear power stations were designed with fast neutron breeder reactors and used uranium enriched to as much as 93.7% uranium-235 isotope. As more of the uranium-238 (or thorium-232) in the breeding blanket was transmuted to fissionable plutonium (or uranium) isotopes, the breeding blanket material would be reprocessed and these fissionable isotopes would be used to replace the original spent uranium. But only a small number of such nuclear power stations were built and the system for reprocessing of the breeding blanket material was not set up.
How much coolants are used in nuclear power stations?
A lot
How much electricity is produced by nuclear power?
1.7% of Pakistan electricity is produced by nuclear power stations
Why are so many power stations close to a large source of water i.e. the sea or a major river?
So the power stations dont use up so much fossil fuels. They use water to spin the turbines in the power stations and then it goes into energy ;) x
How much energy input is wasted at the power stations?
2/3 of energy input is wasted at the power station.
How much wildlife has been taken up by nuclear power stations?
Only the wildlife that used the power plant site before it was built
How much eletricity do coal power stations produce?
In the US, 49 percent of total production of electricity
Is there electricity in Zambia?
There is electricity in much of the urban areas of Zambia. Hydro power is provided from the power stations at Kariba North, Victoria Falls and Kafue. Many rural parts of the country run on diesel power stations and many are now coming onto solar power.
Are hydroelectric as powerful as oil or coal stations?
Yes,once its used as much oil and coal power station
What makes the worlds fastest car fast?
Good aerodynamics and as much power as possible (emissions and reliability, being the deciding factors).
How much horse power does a 305 V8 fuel economy or emissions motor have?
Depends on the year, carburetion/fuel injection, application, etc.
How a hydroelectric plant works?
Hydroelectric power plants or H.E.P stations use a flowing river to turn a turbine which powers the genertator much like other power sources to create electricity. The water is then returned to the river. H.E.P stations can also be in a reservoir.
Does wind power contribute to any pollution or does it help?
In reality wind power actually helps to cut down pollution, not by much but it's something.
