The reason is that there are many people around the world who are uneducated in the nuclear power field and therefore still assume the stereotypical nuclear meltdown or mutations will occur and as such, oppose their construction vehemently. Also, it is quite expensive to develop and build such plants.
What else can I help you with?
What is the biggest challenge of nuclear fusion?
Getting it to work in a controllable continuous way and producing more power output than the power input.
What is a nuclear-tipped missiles?
A rocket or unmanned airplane with one or more nuclear warheads as its payload.
How many more times can a nuclear explosions be more powerful than the largest conventional weapon?
theoretically the yield of nuclear weapons is unlimited.
If you had a nuclear war who would win?
no one because the nuclear nations would destroy each other Edit: (My opinion). I do not think that is true; Mainly because I am leaning on Russia winning a Nuclear war due to its far more superior number in nuclear power (11,00-15,000 estimated) than the U.S.A's (8,000-10,000 estimated). Also Russia is too big of a land to destroy and not to forget Russia has the most powerfull Nuclear Warhead: The Tolop-M. Also If Russia does not win. Nations wouldn't destroy each other and end it all. There would ALWAYS be survivors to tell the truth and their is ALWAYS a country that wins, and if there were a Nuclear War. That country would most probably be Russia. ^^^^ This guy is a total ideot. If there was a nuclear war, EVERYONE would loose. And do some research. The Tsar Bomb is the largest. If there was a nuclear war then russia and the usa would be the mostlikely targets due to their size. And i doubt it would be all vs all. The USA, UK, France, India Vs North Korea, China, Pakistan and Russia could be an example. Besides, nuclear wars arent going to happen. If you nuke someone you are basically nuking yourself.
What was a goal of president Truman ordering research of the hydrogen bomb?
WW2 ended with the nuclear attack on Japan. The cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki suffered the consciences of the nuclear bomb. With the United States using these powerful weapons, Russia begun research on the nuclear bomb and in a period of time, they got their nuclear bomb ready. The nations in power were in the "who got the most powerful bomb" race. The nuclear arms race was central to the Cold War. Many feared where the Cold War was going with the belief that the more nuclear weapons you had, the more powerful you were. Both America and Russia massively built up their stockpiles of nuclear weapons. The world greatly changed when USA exploded the H-bomb in 1952. This one bomb was smaller in size than the Hiroshima atomic bomb but 2500 times more powerful. The Russians produced an H-bomb in 1953 and the world became a much more dangerous place.
What step did carter take to reduce us dependency on foreign oil?
Build more nuclear plants
Why nuclear power plants are used as base load plants?
Nuclear power plants are capital intensive power plants and hence it is more economic to operate them at high capacity factors (or as base load plants)
What process do nuclear power plants use produce energy?
All current nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce energy. For more information on fission and power plants, see the related links.
What step did carter want to take to reduce U.S dependence on foreign oil?
build more nuclear plants
Where is the nearest nuclear power plant to Finland?
In Finland. There are several nuclear power plants in Finland and more are likely to be build.
Explain how to improve the amount of nuclear energy with illustration?
Build more nuclear power plants!
What three states have nuclear power plants?
There are many more than three states in the US with nuclear plants. Go to www.nrc.gov for a complete list
What is the aim of nuclear power plants in India?
The main aim of nuclear power is to produce electricity. People needs electricity for their daily life. Therefore for producing more electricity we need power plants.
are nuclear power plants more cost effective cheaper than fossil fuels?
Levelized cost of kwh from a nuclear power plant is cheaper than from any fossil fueled power plants.
Do nuclear power plants pollute more than coal power plants?
No. Nuclear power is more efficient because nuclear power is used as splitting atoms, making big bursts of energy, whereas coal power is simply burning coal. So nuclear power uses uranium fission to create energy (electricity), whereas coal power burns coal, emitting carbon. (Mind you, nuclear energy leaves behind radioactive waste - that is arguably easier to deal with for the time being. Not to mention that accidents at nuclear plants can have devastating environmental effects.
How would terrorist attack a nuclear power plants?
Nuclear power plants have extremely tight security. More to the point, however, WikiAnswers will not provide information about illegal, terrorist activities.
How does being in proximity to nuclear power generation affect my family's safety?
The presence of nuclear power plants may affect public health in many ways. Primarily, the release of radiation by nuclear power plants into the surrounding areas is known to have hazardous effects on public health. Nuclear power plants can also affect the health of the local environment and natural wildlife.
