What are facts about nuclear power plants?
Extracting energy from nuclear fuels is more expensive than extracting energy from fossil fuels.
What factors make nuclear power expensive?
No one has found a way to get rid of nuclear wastes, there is a lot of security dealing with nuclear power, an accident at a nuclear reactor can be dangerous for miles around and for years to come. Except for hydrogen bombs, nuclear fusion power has not been harnessed by people for more than a few seconds. Considering that all a nuclear (fission) power plant does is to boil water and turn it into steam, there are better ways of making electricity than nuclear power (except for submarines and aircraft carriers). Remember Three Mile Island and Chernobyl? That's why nuclear power is so expensive.
What is true about nuclear power?
extracting energy from nuclear fuels is more expensive than extracting energy from fossil fuels
Why is gas turbine power more expensive per kilowatt-hour than nuclear power?
It costs more to obtain the fuel
Why is the book Selected Nuclear Materials and Engineering Systems so expensive?
It contains a model nuclear reactor. It used to be double this price.
Is nuclear power expensive to use?
yes it is very expensive.

Is nuclear power expensive?
Extremely so. Every estimate given that shows how cheap it is ALWAYS ignores "hidden" costs.
Why is decommissioning a nuclear power plant so expensive?
because they have to safetly turn of the core of the reactor and dispose of the dangeouse chemicals used
Which is more expensive fuel or uranium?
Uranium is more expensive, but the kWh in a nuclear power plant is more cheaper.
Why can't they use the nuclear fusion rocket technology in for power production?
Nuclear fusion rocket technology is too expensive to use as a means for power production.
What is true about nuclear power?
extracting energy from nuclear fuels is more expensive than extracting energy from fossil fuels
Is wind energy less expensive than nuclear energy?
Wind power can be quite costly over time, but nuclear power creates wastes that cost a lot of money to dispose of, let alone getting the nuclear rods in the first place. However, nuclear power can provide much more power than wind power, so they are more or less equals.
Is a nuclear power plant same as nuclear power station?
Yes, it generally is but a nuclear plant could refer to nuclear reactors which are basically the things that produce the power. So in essence, yes, a nuclear plant is the same thing as a nuclear power station
Should the UK develop nuclear power in the future?
We should not have nuclear power in the future because so many things can happen; for example people can get skin cancer and can cause high level radioactive waste/and it is very expensive and also nuclear power can cause small accidents. the nuclear power looks like a dick with wee coming out (that is a very true fact) i am very picc or i dont want skin cancer
Why is gas turbine power more expensive per kilowatt-hour than nuclear power?
It costs more to obtain the fuel
