What else can I help you with?
Why would people want to reprocess fuel rods from a nuclear power plant?
as it still has energy in it.
Can you run the dishwasher if the disposal is not working?
Yes, even it is not working, water will still run through it.Yes, even it is not working, water will still run through it.
What is a suitable fuel for a power plant?
Common fuels in use in fueled power plants are coal, oil, natural gas, biogas, and biomass. In nuclear reactors uranium and plutonium are often descibed as 'fuel'; thorium is a possibility that is still considered experimental.
Is Three Mile Island still in use?
Yes, it is still operational. The related link, below, has more detailed information about it.
Good things about nuclear energy?
Modern nuclear technology is VERY safe. The older technology was less safe of course, but even then there has only been one nuclear meltdown which has affected the public at Chernobyl, although a water reactor failed at Three Mile Island prompting its closing. Nuclear energy is "clean" in that it does not release pollution or toxins into the air or water, although the warmed water released into an ecosystem can devastate the local environment. Economically and politically it reduces our need for fossil fuels, namely oil, which for the most part is imported. Interestingly enough, Three Mile Island is an example of how incredibly safe the current technology really is. Despite the several botched opportunities to control the reactor and prevent the situation, the system still never went into an uncontrolled melt down or emitted significant volumes of radiation. The problem at Three Mile Island occurred because man made several bad assumptions about senors during a test and failed to respond correctly at almost every turn. the safeties in place over rode the inputs by man preventing the classic "china syndrome".
Is the Chernobyl nuclear plant still operating?
No
What is the name of the nuclear power plant which is currently leaking in Japan?
Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant is still leaking and it is hoped to be repaired by 2020.
What happend in chernobyl?
there was a meltdown at a nuclear plant that caused irrevoable damage and nuclear posioning for generations to come. It is still considered dangerous to go there.
Why would people want to reprocess fuel rods from a nuclear power plant?

Is the Japanese earthquake still affecting people?
Yes by the nuclear worries caused by the power plant:)
Is the Jervis Nuclear Power Plant still running?
Do you mean Jervis Bay in Australia? There was a proposal to build a plant there about 30 years ago but it never was even started. Australia has no nuclear power plants.
Could a reactor be fueled with americium?
The Russians are working on the problem of creating a nuclear reactor fuel out of americium, but they're still working the problem. In addition, they haven't built a reactor that uses americium as a nuclear fuel yet, either.
Is Chernobyl still working?
No, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant is not operational. The last remaining reactor was shut down in December 2000 due to safety concerns and international pressure. Today, the site is primarily used for decommissioning and cleanup efforts.
Is Chernobyl still running today?
No, the last reactor was shut down in December of 2000. However, they are still working of cleaning and removal today.
Can you use nuclear energy at home?
It is not practical for you to have your own nuclear power plant at home, however, it is perfectly practical for you to use electricity that has been generated in a nuclear power plant and then transmitted to your home through power lines.
What is Reactor number four?
The #4 reactor is the reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (Pripyat, Ukraine) that exploded on April 26, 1986. It is still the worst nuclear accident to ever take place anywhere.
Is radiation still leaking from Chernobyl nuclear plant?
There are still small amounts of radiation leaking from the Chernobyl nuclear plant, but it is mostly contained within the sarcophagus and new confinement structure. The site is continuously monitored and efforts are made to minimize the spread of radiation into the environment.
