Nuclear generated electrical energy is fed into the grid and distributed, you can't say just where it goes and how it mixes with other types of generation. I don't know of any city that relies on nuclear alone. In a large country like the US there are large areas without nuclear plants, but in a state like Illinois with a number of nuclear plants, all cities will have some nuclear and some from other sources.

What are the most important energy sources in Canada?
Canada is a resource rich country with many available energy sources. There are vast reserves of coal, oil, natural gas and uranium; and many rivers that still could be developed into hydroelectric projects. There are also many areas where wind, solar and tidal power projects could one day be utilized. Presently, Canada uses fossil fuels as the source of energy to meet almost all of its transportation needs and uses hydroelectric dams, fossil fuels and nuclear power plants to generate most of its electrical needs. All of these energy sources are important because they give Canada an energy mix - which means flexibility. This flexibility gives Canada the ability to offset steep energy price increases such as those seen in the fossil industry over the past decade.
Is nuclear power a renewable or non-renewable source of energy?
Nuclear power is considered a non-renewable source of energy because it relies on uranium, which is a finite resource. Although nuclear power is a low-carbon energy source, the fuel source itself is not naturally replenished on a human timescale.
What is the original source of nuclear power?
The original source of nuclear power is the nuclear fission process. This process involves splitting the nucleus of an atom, such as uranium or plutonium, which releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat. This heat is then used to generate electricity in nuclear power plants.
Does Canada have nuclear energy?
Canada has 7 nuclear power stations (some with more than one reactor) which produce about 15% of Canada's electrical power.
What percent of canada's energy is nuclear?
About 15 percent of the energy produced in Canada is derived from nuclear power plants. In contrast, about 61 percent of the energy produced in Canada is derived from hydroelectric power plants.
What Power plant that uses uranium as a source of energy?
Uranium (or plutonium) is a source of energy (nuclear fuel) in nuclear power plants.
What where do you get plutonium?
Plutonium applications: - fuel for nuclear reactors - explosive for nuclear weapons - neutron source - isotopic power source - isotopic heat source - in the past, power source for pacemakers
Is coal a nonrenewable nuclear power source?
Cola is a renewable thermal fuel power source. It is not radioactive in the sense of nuclear plant fuel.
What element is used as the source of nuclear power?
Most commonly used material to produce nuclear energy in Uranium.

What percent of canadas' power does Nuclear fission produce?
About 15 percent - see Wikipedia 'Nuclear power in Canada'
How can you produce energy in future by nuclear power plant if there is no source?
The source of nuclear power is the nucleus of an atom; any atom. As long as there is mass in the universe there will be a source of nuclear power. Even if in the future we run out of the radioactive material we currently use to fuel nuclear power plants, it would be foolish to assume that we will never again be able to harness nuclear energy in another way.
