What else can I help you with?
What are 4 significant problems with nuclear power plants?
pollutes the air thats all i know sorry
What is product of a nuclear power plant?
Nucler plants create nuclear energy by separaiting atoms
What are some benefits of nuclear power plants?
Reduction in Air Pollution. Nuclear power can also be part of a strategy to address carbon emissions. Nuclear power plants emit no carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, or nitrous oxides.
What are the workers at nuclear power plants called?
I don't think it is much different to those working in conventional power plants, but one additional type of duty is Radiation Health Physics, which is not needed except on nuclear plants
Why aren't nuclear power plants built in deserts?
Nuclear power plants need a source of cooling. Water is the usual source of cooling, and lots of it, making a desert location unrealistic.
Different ways of transforming energy have different environmental effects what waste problems of nuclear power plants is NOT a problem with a coal-burning power plant?
You don't list the waste problems, so how can I answer? However radioactive waste is not a problem for a coal burning plant
What waste problems of nuclear power plants is NOT a problem with a coal-burning power plant?
Nuclear power plants produce radioactive waste, which remains hazardous for thousands of years, unlike the waste produced by coal-burning power plants. Coal plants generate larger quantities of more immediate pollutants like sulfur dioxide, mercury, and particulate matter, which can have significant health and environmental impacts.
What are some drawbacks with using uranium to produce electricity?
- possible problem with pollution - possible problems with some accidents in nucear fuel plants or in nuclear reactors - nuclear wastes
What are the main problem of nuclear power?
The main problems with nuclear power include the potential for accidents such as meltdowns, the production of radioactive waste that needs to be safely stored for thousands of years, the high cost of constructing and decommissioning nuclear plants, and the risk of nuclear proliferation and nuclear terrorism.
Which is a waste problem of nuclear power that does not occur with coal-burning power plants?
One unique waste problem of nuclear power is the production of highly radioactive spent fuel rods. Unlike coal-burning power plants, nuclear power plants generate this waste that remains hazardous for thousands of years and requires specialized storage and disposal methods to prevent environmental contamination and health risks.
How many times greater is the amount of electrical energy produced in the US by coal burning power plants than by nuclear power plants?
Coal burning power plants in the US produce around 4 times more electrical energy compared to nuclear power plants.
Why do we not explode a ground level detonation low yield nuclear bomb on the nuclear plants in Japan to stop the continued problems or encasing the plants?
You are just crazy!! This would scatter radioactive contamination over a huge area and contribute absolutely nothing to cleaning up and containing the present problem.
How do you prevent Nuclear Disasters?
High safety measures at the nuclear plants is to be observed if the nuclear disasters is to be prevented. The problems identified at the nuclear plant should be immediately rectified to prevent the nuclear disasters.
Is nuclear burned?
Nuclear energy as obtained in nuclear reactor power plants comes from the fission or splitting of the nuclei of uranium and plutonium. It is not a chemical burning process and does not need any other elements to make it happen.
What is the problems with japan nuclear power plants?
The problems currently being experienced are due to the combination of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami
What do nuclear plants use instead of fossil fuels?
Nuclear plants use fissionable material to generate heat instead of burning fossil fuel for the same purpose. The fissionable fuel is in the core of a nuclear reactor, and this core and the associated elements of the nuclear plant allow us to tap nuclear energy via nuclear fission.
What fossil fuel plants and nuclear plants both heat water in order to turn on?
Both fossil fuel plants and nuclear plants use heat to produce steam by heating water. This steam is then used to drive turbines that generate electricity. Fossil fuel plants heat water by burning coal, oil, or natural gas, while nuclear plants use nuclear reactions to produce heat.
