A typical Nuclear power-plant with 1 Unit generates 3937 Megawatts Per Hour.
Fukushima Daiichi had 4 units.
So 3937 Megawatts Multiplied by 4 is 15,748 Megawatts Per Hour.
This is enough to power the whole of Vegas 58 Times.
A single Wind turbine can generate 2.5 M/W per day and that is if its on a land with a lot of water speed.
So we need 6299 Wind Turbines located at a place where its High, Has alot of waterfalls. That means you need approximately the Entire of Japan 40 Times over and that 40 times must be full of waterfalls to generate the power a single powerplant with 4 units generates.
What else can I help you with?
How much would it cost to replace Fukushima with wind turbines?
The cost is approximately 98.9 Billion U.S.D. A single nuclear powerplant such as fukushima cost around 400 million to build.
How much land area would be covered by solar panels to replace Fukushima?
Fukushima generated 3,400 MW on average. One of the world's largest solar power plants is Agua Caliente Solar Project, which generates 626 GW·h / yr = 71 MW on average. So it would take 48 of the world's largest solar power plants to replace the Fukushima plant. Agua Caliente takes up 2,400 acres, so the total amount of land area required to replace Fukushima with solar panels is 2400*48 = 114,500 acres, which is about half the area of Hong Kong, or 132 times the area of the Fukushima plant.
How much land would need to be covered in wind turbines to replace one nuclear power plant?
If each wind turbine produces about 2 MW, which I believe is current though I suppose bigger ones could be built, you would need 750 of them to replace a nuclear reactor, and you would also have to be prepared for blackout periods when the wind is either not blowing or blowing too strongly for safety. I don't know the spacing requirements but should imagine about 1 acre per wind turbine for these large units, otherwise you would get wind shadowing.
How much would it cost to replace Fukushima with solar panels?
Fukushima Generates around 13,000 Mega watts of electricity. You need 434 Solar Panels for 1 Mega Watts. Calculation 434 Multiplied by 13,000 Equals to 5,642,000 Solar Panels. Cost of 1 solar panel 3,500 $ So 3,500 Multiplied by 5,642,000 = 14,747,000,000 USD. A single Nuclear Powerplant costs 400 Million USD.
How safe are we in north america if reactor 3 meltsdown at fukushima?
People in North America would be safe if a Reactor 3 meltdown at Fukushima.
How long before you die from Fukushima?
Well assuming that you spent your whole life in Fukushima you would have a mere 82.9 years to live. Radiation poisoning is different and depends greatly upon method of exposure, what kind of radiation, how much exposure, how quick it is treated and pre-existing conditions. Although if you spent an equal amount of time in a semi truck full of bananas and in the main city of Fukushima you would die from the bananas' natural radioactivity before radiation in the main city of Fukushima. BTW: Fukushima is a city, not a syndrome.
What are the two sources of turbines noise?
The first source of where you might find turbine would be at a Hydropower station where water turbines will be converting water into an energy source. The Airport would be a second location, as turbines are used to power the jet engines.
Would wind turbines be able to run a school?
It would certainly be possible to produce enough electricity by means of wind turbines, to supply the electric needs of a school.
What type of combustion engine would you classify steam turbines used in power plants?
Steam turbines are external combustion engines.
What is the most interesting thing about wind turbines?
Apparently Wind Turbines can make Bat's Lungs explode. . . You would need between 500 and 1000 wind turbines to match the energy for a power plant!
Is there enough residual heat at the Fukushima nuclear plants to reach 3000F and fully expose the uranium If so and maximum radiation reaches Tokyo what would be the level of destruction?
Specialists think that a more severe accident is not possible now at Fukushima.
How many wind turbines needed to power us?
About 1 million wind turbines would be needed to power the entire United States.
