Depending on: - the type of the nuclear reactor - the electrical power of the nuclear reactor - the type of the nuclear fuel - the enrichment of uranium - the estimated burnup of the nuclear fuel etc.
Nuclear power plants require the highest initial expenditure compared to other types of power plants due to the complex technology and infrastructure needed to harness nuclear energy. Additionally, nuclear power plants have high costs associated with safety measures, waste disposal, and decommissioning at the end of their operational life.
VC Summer Nuclear Power Station uses a Westinghouse "light water" reactor. "Light water" means that the nuclear reaction is moderated by regular H2O (as opposed to "heavy water" which uses a heavier Hydrogen isotope called "deuterium").
Nuclear power plants release the most radioactivity into the environment compared to other types of power plants. However, modern nuclear plants are designed with multiple layers of protection to prevent the release of radioactivity. When operated properly and following safety protocols, nuclear plants pose minimal risk to the environment.
The cable that is used to connect from the generator is based on the size in kW's of the generator and the generator's breaker size rated in amps. It usually is a flexible cab-tire 4 wire cable if the generator is a portable type. If it is a stationary generator is has to be wired with a flexible conduit so as not to transmit vibration from the generator to the conduit system.

Chernobyl is famous for the worst nuclear power plant accident in history.
A nuclear power plant is a type of power plant that generates electricity using nuclear reactions, typically involving uranium. A power plant can refer to any facility that generates electricity, including coal, natural gas, or renewable energy sources, while a nuclear power plant specifically uses nuclear energy.

STG stands for Steam turbine generator. It is a type of power plant that generates electricity by using steam to drive a turbine connected to a generator. The turbine converts the thermal energy in the steam into mechanical energy, which is then converted into electrical energy by the generator.
Three Mile Island is a nuclear power plant located in Pennsylvania, USA. It is a pressurized water reactor (PWR) type of nuclear power plant.
they provide higher amount of power and electricity than normal power plants.
