Limerick Nuclear Station has two GE designed BWR reactors, each generating up to 1200 MWE. The units were started up in Feb 1986 and Jan 1990. See following website for details.

Should you still use nuclear power?
Nuclear power is very good source of energy to turn to. The only problem is the storage of nuclear waste, that is left over after the nuclear reaction the power plant. The energy obtained from the nuclear power plant is very clean burning and more KJ/mole energy.
Can you use nuclear energy at home?
It is not practical for you to have your own nuclear power plant at home, however, it is perfectly practical for you to use electricity that has been generated in a nuclear power plant and then transmitted to your home through power lines.
How do you use fission and fusion in a nuclear power plant?
We don't yet know how to use fusion in a power plant. All nuclear power plants use fission only. Fusion is much harder, but will be better if we can figure it out.
How are a fossil fuel burning power plant and a nuclear plant similar?
They both use steam turbine/generators
Are nuclear reactors and nuclear power plants the same?
Not really. It depends on what you are trying to do. A nuclear power plant is a power plant that uses a nuclear reactor as its source of energy. A nuclear reactor, on the other hand, is a more generalized term for a device that uses nuclear energy (specifically the release of binding energy from the Strong Atomic Force) to do something. In the general case, we use the reactor to generate energy for the power plant to use in generating electricity. Sometimes, we use the reactor for other, research type things, such as generating a neutron flux to study the physics of nuclide activation.

Can a nuclear power plant burn uranium?
A nuclear power plant does use uranium as fuel It "burns" it in the nuclear sense not the chemical sense
What is the uraniums use in nuclear power plant?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel.
What type of reactions or fuel did the Chernobyl nuclear plant use?
Nuclear Fission
What is the use of nuclear power plant?
The generation of electricity.
Where is nuclear energy in the bumper cars?
Bumper cars use electricity, which could be from a nuclear plant

Is a nuclear power plant producing electricity an example of nuclear fusion?
yes. this is because nuclear power plants use nuclear fusion
Use nuclear in a sentence?
It was a nuclear bomb. Everyone was afraid of a nuclear bomb. The nuclear power plant malfunctioned. The Cold War was about fear of nuclear attack.
What is a use for Uranium fuel?
The use is to produce electricity from a nuclear reactor plant
What type of energy does a nuclear power plant Use?
Electricity.
Who can use nuclear power?
Technically, anyone who lives near a nuclear power plant and, i suppose, gets permission, can use nuclear energy as a cheaper alternative to electricity
