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

Advantages of atomic energy?

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.


How long will nuclear energy be on earth?

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).


What is the difference between solar geothermal nuclear fossil fuel hydroelectric?

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.


How does France generate its electricity?

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.


How much energy does a hurricane possess and how does it compare to other natural disasters in terms of destructive power?

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.

How many houses can be supplied with electricity for a year with the nuclear energy from one peanut?

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.
