There are two nuclear power plants located in Connecticut: Millstone Power Station, which consists of three reactors in Waterford, and the long-shuttered Connecticut Yankee plant in Haddam.
There were 104 commercial nuclear power plants operating in the United States as of 2009.
There are many more than three states in the US with nuclear plants. Go to www.nrc.gov for a complete list
It varies depending on the capacity of each power plant, but generally speaking, one nuclear power plant can replace multiple coal-fired power plants due to the higher energy output of nuclear energy.
Coal burning power plants in the US produce around 4 times more electrical energy compared to nuclear power plants.
Nuclear power plants have evolved over time to incorporate safer reactor designs, improved safety measures, and better waste management techniques. Advances in technology have also made nuclear plants more efficient and reliable. Additionally, there is a greater emphasis on transparency and public involvement in the planning and operation of nuclear power plants.
There are a total of 6 nuclear power plants or stations located in India. They are located in New Dehli, Narora, Rajasthan, Kakrapar, Tarapur, and Kaiga.
There is only one nuclear power plant in the Philippines. It is located in Bataan and was made in 1973.

Iran's first nuclear power plant, Bushehr I, is expected to be operational in 2009. There are no current plans to complete the Bushehr II reactor, although the construction of 19 nuclear power plants is envisaged. Iran has announced that it is working on a new 360 MWe nuclear power plant to be located in Darkhoyen.

The negative effects of nuclear power plants on sea life is very limited as the sea water used for cooling is fully separated from the nuclear fuel. In addition, the regulations require that the sea water temperature rise due to its use for nuclear plants cooling should exceed 5 degrees centigrade. Many swimming beaches are located close to the nuclear power plants sites.
