Most all houses use some. Nuclear is about 19 percent of total supply.
It is estimated that the energy from one peanut can power a lightbulb for about 30 minutes. To power a typical household for a year, it would take the energy from millions of peanuts. Nuclear power comes from a much more concentrated source of energy compared to peanuts.
Albert Einstein began thinking about nuclear energy in 1905, when he proposed the famous equation E=mc^2 in his paper on special relativity. He later became a prominent advocate for nuclear energy research in the 1930s and 1940s.
There are currently (year 2013) 31 countries having nuclear power reactors. The rest are not having nuclear power.
Assuming a year 9 student consumes about 2,000 calories a day, one peanut contains around 6-7 calories. This means one peanut could supply a year 9 student with around 1-2 hours of energy, far less than what is needed for a year.
In the US, coal burning power plants produce around 1.2 times more electrical energy than nuclear power plants. This ratio fluctuates depending on the specific year and conditions.
one year of energy can supply 6 million houses

Every year since 1945
Commercial use for electricity, in 1956
I think this has many of the best brains in government service in many countries puzzled! Iran has plenty of oil, so should not need nuclear. We may find out in another year or two.
You can't say exactly how many houses there are in Seattle because Seattle is a big city and there are many more houses built each year. If you want to know, I would recommend you find the number of houses in a certain year.
Approx. 30 000 t/year.

A large nuclear power reactor will have a thermal output of about 3000 MW. If this runs all day every day it will therefore produce 3000 x 365 MWD (Megawattdays) of energy in a year.
