Many nuclear power plants through history of nuclear energy utilization for electric power generation; namely:
  1. Experimental Breeder Reactor One, Idaho, 1951 (only provided power to its own building)
  2. SRE at Santa Susana Field Laboratory, California, 1959
  3. Stationary Low-Power Reactor Number One, Idaho, 1961
  4. SNAP8ER at Santa Susana Field Laboratory, California, 1964
  5. Fermi Nuclear Generating Station, Michigan, 1966
  6. Chapelcross nuclear power station, Scotland, 1967
  7. SNAP8DR at Santa Susana Field Laboratory, California, 1969
  8. Saint-Laurent Nuclear Power Plant, France, 1969
  9. A1 plant, Czechoslovakia, 1977
  10. Three Mile Island, Pennsylvania, 1979
  11. Saint-Laurent Nuclear Power Plant, France, 1980
  12. Chernobyl, USSR, 1986
  13. Fukushima, Japan, 2011
This does not include several Soviet submarines that were nuclear powered and suffered meltdowns.

Is necular energy renewable?

Nuclear energy is not considered a renewable energy source because it requires uranium fuel, which is a finite resource. However, nuclear power plants can generate electricity for a long period of time before needing to refuel.

What would happen if A nuclear Power plant was struck with a Nuclear bomb?

AnswerThere would be a gigantic explosion AnswerThe force of the actual explosion would depend entirely on the bomb. The material in the power plant would almost certainly not contribute to the force of the explosion in any way. Nuclear explosions are not merely a matter of achieving critical mass; the critical mass has to be maintained while the explosion takes place, which is not easy. The environmental damage done by the bomb would probably be worse than if it had gone off in some other place, because the radioactive material at the power plant would be scattered to some unpredictable extent.Nuclear power plants are never, or nearly never, built in cities because of the possibility of accident. A nuclear bomb hitting a nuclear power plant would possibly cause fewer fatalities than a bomb hitting a city.

Why is nuclear energy a better alternative to fossil fuel?

Nuclear energy, when compared to fossil fuels, has both risks and benefits. First, a uranium pellet (the size of a large pill you might take) produces the equivalent power of around 1,900lbs of coal, 17,000 cu ft of natural gas, or about 150gals of oil. So as competition for resources increases, being able to rely on something small provides more-for-less. Uranium is not a renewable resource (such as solar, wind, hydro). However, there is a type of reactor known as a "breeder reactor" that causes the uranium to convert to plutonium, allowing for another use in nuclear energy/power production. Many people are scared of nuclear power--and with good reason. Disasters such as Chernobyl, and the Fukushima Plant have demonstrated the catastrophic possiblities of nuclear power gone a wry. New plants are strictly governed and regulated, however, and are extremely safe. The water that actually cools the reactor transfers heat while remaining in a closed system. As such, there is no toxic dumping of water like parodied in shows like The Simpsons. Further, the number of safeguards lowers the probability of plant failure significantly, while also mitigating the severity. All in all, I personally believe that nuclear energy remains a generally or relatively safe, clean alternative to traditional energy production methods.
