Difficult to know what the questioner is getting at here. South Africa has demonstrated a capability of running a successful nuclear plant with the Koeberg PWR, which was a french design. I believe some operational difficulties occurred due to faults in the HV transmission lines, but this is no reflection on the reactor safety management. A nuclear plant with high output does however need a transmission setup which is reliable and flexible in the event of faults.
New nuclear plans in South Africa revolve around the pebble bed design, the intention is to build a high power (approx 100MW?) prototype at Koeberg. This is certainly an ambitious project, and would be a world first. It does build on some experience, in Germany for example, and I believe China also intends to develop this design.
Perhaps the questioner is suggesting that going for such an unproven design is a disadvantage, and it obviously has its risks in terms of the investment required. However this would apply wherever it was sited.

How do photocells generate electricity?
the photoelectrons released during photoelectric effect are used to generate electricity in photo cells
Did Nikola Tesla have a positive effect on the world?
If you know about electricity, he had both a positive and a negative effect on the world, lol.
What are the positive effects of electricity on the environment?
The positive effects of electricity on the environment are quite limited as mostly electricity has negative impact on the environment. Plants can be said to benefit slightly from the carbon dioxide released in the generation of electricity.
How do magnets help create electricity?
If a conductor - such as a wire - moves through a magnetic field, a voltage is produced in the conductor. This may cause a current (if the wire is connected to an external circuit). This effect is used in generators to generate electricity.

Can you give me physics investigatory project using electricity can i have the answer now or as soon as possible pleasei really need it...?
You can conduct a physics investigatory project on potatoes being used as a form of electricity. In addition, the effect of using potatoes as a source of electricity on the environment can be observed. Copper and zinc electrodes enable the juice of the potato to generate electricity.

Is gas still in use today?
Yes it is used in everyday life. The most common use would be for electricity, as gas is used to heat water in power stations which in effect creates electricity. ++++ I will expand that to clarify it. Heating the water in power-stations does not "in effect create electricity". Rather, it is boiled to produce steam at very high temperature and pressure, and this is used to drive turbines that in turn rotate the alternators that actually generate the electricity.
Did the age exploration have a positive or negative effect on humanity?
It had a positive effect on the world, but for the humans those times it was a negative effect. Bcuz the Portuguese took slaves from Africa. so it was bad for humanity. But if the age of exploration hadn't happened the united states wouldn't be here. So it also has a positive effect. It depends on how u look at it.
