Coal Power plants are cheaper to build.

Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant was created in 2006.
1. Can be made in much greater output plants 2. Steam plants can use a variety of fuel sources including nuclear fuel, whilst diesel fuel is more expensive and best reserved for transport use.
Uranium-238 (U-238) is not directly used as fuel in most nuclear power plants, which primarily use uranium-235 (U-235) for fission reactions. However, U-238 plays a significant role in the nuclear fuel cycle; it can absorb neutrons and undergo a process called breeding, where it is converted into plutonium-239 (Pu-239), which can then be used as fuel. Additionally, U-238 is commonly found in natural uranium, making up about 99.3% of it.
There are four operating plants per the NRC:Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1 - Glen Rose, TXComanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 2 - Glen Rose, TXSouth Texas Project, Unit 1 - Bay City, TXSouth Texas Project, Unit 2 - Bay City, TXThere are 104 plants licensed to operate in the US currently.
Kansas and Nebraska both have nuclear plants, also Arizona and Texas.
There are two nuclear power plants comprising four units in Texas, along with three research reactors at two universities.Comanche Peak - Two PWR'sSouth Texas Project - Two PWR'sTexas A&M - One AGN - One TRIGAUniversity of Texas at Austin - One TRIGA

There are two nuclear power plants in the state of Texas: one is close to Glen Rose (Somervell County 32° 17′ 54″ N, 97° 47′ 6″ W) and the other one is close to Bay City (Matagorda County 28° 47′ 44″ N, 96° 2′ 56″ W). They are both active.

Britain does have nuclear power plants.
WHY
WHY
Some of the nuclear power plants in Texas are located in Fort Bend County near Houston, Matagorda County along the Gulf Coast, and Glen Rose in North Central Texas. These plants help provide a significant portion of the state's electricity.
No. As of 2012, there are no nuclear power plants located in the state of Montana.
