There are 14 AGR reactors, two of the old magnox reactors, and one PWR operating in the UK. Their total output can be obtained from the tables in the link below. Table 5.4 gives fuel use in millions of tonnes of oil equivalent
It is the only sustainable energy that we have. There are only two valid sources of any energy, fossil fuels and nuclear. With less then a 1000 years of oil left, we know fossil fuels will end. Nuclear is also much cleaner. Those that do not understand climate and CO2 also worry about CO2 emissions. The only fuel that produces zero CO2 is nuclear.Most countries have determined that nuclear is a valid source of power. France brags about how green they are. This is because they are over 90% nuclear.
nuclear power is going to be around for much longer, more fission reactors will be built to compensate in the increase in energy usage and more research is being done to make fusion energy which will replace fission reactors(this is quite a while yet before fusion reactors can be used to produce use usable energy for long periods of time).
1Hydro power is a renewable resource while thermal power is non renewable resource 2. Hydro power is the cheapest form of resource while the thermal power is much costlier than the hydro power.
France generates its electricity mainly through nuclear power plants. Nuclear energy accounts for over 70% of the country's electricity production. In addition to nuclear power, France also generates electricity through hydroelectric plants, wind turbines, and solar panels.
A hurricane can possess a tremendous amount of energy, with the potential to release as much energy as 10,000 nuclear bombs exploding every second. This makes hurricanes one of the most powerful natural disasters in terms of destructive power, capable of causing widespread devastation and loss of life.
Other names for nuclear energy include atomic energy, nuclear power, and atomic power.
Indiana has no nuclear power plants.
No. Much of their power comes from coal.
There are no nuclear power plants in that province
Around 10% of the world's energy is generated from nuclear power.
Currently, nuclear power accounts for around 10% of the world's total energy production.
It is estimated that the energy from one peanut can power a lightbulb for about 30 minutes. To power a typical household for a year, it would take the energy from millions of peanuts. Nuclear power comes from a much more concentrated source of energy compared to peanuts.
The average efficiency of a nuclear power station is about 33%, measured as the ratio of power electric over power thermal.
10000mw
For electricity production, just under 20 percent
PLEASE NOTE that there are also significant disadvantages.The inherent ADVANTAGE of nuclear energy is the huge energy density of nuclear fuels, which is somewhere around a million times as much as what you get from chemical fuel.
I think you must mean how much energy can nuclear power supply , not use, and it is in the world-where else? In the US there are about 100 nuclear reactors and they supply about 20 percent of the nation's electricity
