Where is the closest nuclear power plant to Dallas?
Comanche Peak, 40 miles SW of Fort Worth. See link below (Unit 2 similar)
Is nuclear energy exhaustible?
Fission nuclear power depends on uranium which is found in ore deposits, but clearly there is only a certain amount on Earth, so it is not renewable - current (admittedly rough) estimates are that we have several hundred years worth of usable uranium. Fusion power uses hydrogen isotopes; given the amount available through processing water from the Earth's oceans, it is effectively inexhaustible (meaning, there are several billions of years worth of hydrogen to be obtained from the Earth's oceans, which is longer than the remaining lifespan of the Earth).
Are the benefits of nuclear power worth the risks?
A lot of people think so, but how can this be evaluated? Designers and operators think any risk is minimal, but it's up to the federal government in the end, through the NRC. The benefits are not having to burn so much fossil fuel and hence reducing CO2 emissions.
How much is plutonium worth?
Plutonium is not typically bought or sold on the open market due to its highly regulated nature and potential for misuse in nuclear weapons. It is primarily used in nuclear reactors and weapons programs under strict government control. The value of plutonium is difficult to estimate, but it is considered extremely valuable due to its rare and highly radioactive properties.
What was 500 pounds worth in 1912?
In 1912, 500 pounds would have had a purchasing power equivalent to around £56,000 in today's money, adjusted for inflation.
Does Fort Worth have a nuclear power plant 50 miles from it or in it?
See the NRC website www.nrc.gov for a map of all US nuclear power plants, including Texas
What type of power resource is used in Mexico?
Most common are oil-powered thermal power stations; there are also some coal-powered and nuclear-powered stations (Mexico has two nuclear reactors worth 1.4 GW). There are also geothermal power plants and hydroelectric plants. Wind and solar power are growing in importance, but are still uncommon.

What is Robert plants net worth?
I would say close to 220 million.
How much is the Cabbagepult worth on Plants vs Zombies?
Cabbagepult cost 100 suns to plant.
Which power station does not produce greenhouse gases?
Nuclear power stations do not produce greenhouse gases during their operation. They generate electricity through nuclear fission, which does not involve combustion of fossil fuels. However, it's worth noting that there are some greenhouse gas emissions associated with the construction and decommissioning of nuclear plants, as well as the mining and processing of uranium. In addition, renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydroelectric power stations also produce little to no greenhouse gases during operation.
Can power plants store the amount of electricity for a month?
No, the only current type of power plant that could do this is a special variant of hydroelectric plant that when there is excess energy on the grid can use it to pump water back up into the reservoir for storage until demand rises. However the only ones I know of only have excess reservoir capacity to store a few days worth of energy, but not a month.
What is new zealands stance towards nuclear energy?
New Zealand decided some time ago that it could forgo the 'benefits' of generating electricity from nuclear energy. We have plentiful sources of hydro available for generation. Indeed, recently Contact Energy, one of the large generating companies, decided to forgo any further developments on the Clutha River (Mata au). Wind energy is plentiful at these latitudes (c45o) and can be located close to the demand locations. So hydro power is less attractive.Part of the bias against nuclear power, is that the feedstock supplies and the disposal of waste were not worth the problem.[Remember the big push for nuclear energy in US and Europe, was not because of the power produced - the interest was almost completely in the Uranium and Plutonium produced for nuclear weapons. The power was a by-product.Once sufficient plants were built to meet the military demands, the nuclear power constructions came to an almost complete halt.]
Why is nuclear energy worth discussing?
Because it is an important part of electricity production, and more new plants are planned. Much public opinion is against this, so it needs to be discussed.
What is Robert plant worth?
Robert Plant's net worth is $170 million.
how much is a plant worth?
Because the flamethrower plant is a rare species, it is worth $120 for a small grown plant $800 for a fully grown plant
How much less pollutants does nuclear fusion emit compared to the burning of fossil fuels?
The answer depends on what you call pollutants. Natural gas, which is rather clean and contributes mostly carbon dioxide to the global warming problem, can be made 65% efficient when a gas turbine is used to generate electricity and waste heat is used to heat buildings. This is about as well as fossil fuels can do. By comparison, nuclear power produces no carbon dioxide at the reactor. It nonetheless has a carbon footprint in the mining, refining, transportation and enrichment of fuel. Its carbon footprint has to include carbon emissions from construction of the plant, and from decommissioning the plant. Carbon emissions connected to dealing with long-term waste are unknown. Nevertheless, when all this is considered, the carbon footprint of nuclear power appears to be about 40% of the highly efficient gas-powered plant mentioned. (Nuclear plants would be useful to heat buildings, but they are never built in cities.) This would seem to speak strongly in favor of nuclear power, but it does not take into consideration the possibility of nuclear disaster, which can be extremely costly environmentally (estimates for the Chernobyl disaster go as high as a trillion 1995 dollars worth of Ukrainian real estate - of course this is economic, not environmental), and also does not consider the fact that nuclear waste will have to go into storage that will be known to be safe for over a million years before its radioactivity is down to the accepted limit of being equal to that of naturally occurring uranium ore. Radioactivity is always damaging to life in any quantity, the question is what we are going to allow - remember it occurs naturally, so we have to allow some.
