Setting up a nuclear power plant takes a lot of doing. To set up a nuclear power plant, you'll need some cash from investors. Buy some land with a condition that permits will be approved for building that plant there. You'll have to have a reliable water source, and also a place to tie to the heavy lines of the electrical distribution system. Do you have a place picked out?

Favorably clear your environmental impact report and the public opinion period. Have your plant designed and approved, then constructed and fueled. The federal oversight crew will watch you start up and test your plant. Then, with your operating permit in hand, just bring the plant on line and start generating power and collecting money, which you return to your investors.

What was the temperature of the chernobyl nuclear power plant meltdown?

During the Chernobyl nuclear power plant meltdown, temperatures reached up to 4000 degrees Celsius in the reactor core due to the uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction.


How many coal power plants are worth one nuclear power plant?

The present nuclear units in the US go up to 1100 MWe, larger ones are planned, up to 1600MWe. So coal plants are somewhat similar, but on one site you could have several units so making a larger total. Most nuclear sites have two units.


Type of transformer in nuclear power plant?

The type of transformer in a nuclear power plant is the same as that in a fossil plant. After all, we are still using electrical alternators, typically producing 24KV, which needs to be stepped up to grid level, typically 138Kv, depending on the particular grid.


How many megawatts can a nuclear power plant produce?

The largest nuclear power plant in the world is the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, with an electrical generating capacity of 8212 MW. There is probably no theoretical maximum, since the number of reactors is rather arbitrary. I have provided a link to the Wikipedia article below.


Is it possible for a nuclear power plant to blow up like an atomic bomb?

No.. Entirely impossible. There've been a couple meltdowns such as Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, A few scattered partial meltdowns, and a bunch of Russian Submarines. But the reactor is in no way designed to explode. They have to MAKE it explode for atomic bombs. You can't just pick up some uranium and set it on fire and hope it blows up. Explosions can happen and kick radioactive material around, but there won't be some huge mushroom cloud a mile wide. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_meltdown for more information.
