Where are nuclear power plants in Texas?

How close is the closest nuclear power plant to Wisconsin?
The closest nuclear power plant to Wisconsin is the Point Beach Nuclear Plant in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.
Why are nuclear power plants near rivers or oceans?
Nuclear power plants should be close to rivers, oceans, or sea water to get the required cooling capacity for the steam condensate that is passing through the condenser. This condensate, after being cooled down, is recirculated back to the steam generators (in a closed circuit where is turned again into steam that passes over the steam turbines).
Is nuclear power abundant?
Yes, nuclear power is abundant as it is derived from uranium, which is a relatively plentiful resource. Additionally, nuclear power plants can generate a large amount of energy from a small amount of fuel compared to other energy sources.
How much nuclear energy does Illinois produce?
Illinois has more nuclear power plants than any other state in the nation. Commonwealth Edison owns 13 nuclear reactors, 10 of which are in operation; one was down 20 years prematurely because of excess radioactive contamination. Illinois Power Company owns one reactor. One-hundred-eight reactors operate nationwide.In a 1996 study done by Public Citizen covering 11 safety- and performance-related categories, Illinois' reactors placed in the bottom third in the country in 44% of the rankings. In January, 1997, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission put ComEd's Dresden-2 & 3, Zion-1 & 2, and LaSalle-2 & 3 reactors -- 6 of the 12 it operates -- on its "close watch list" for poor safety and performance.Each year Illinois' 13 nuclear power plants produce on the average tens of thousands of cubic feet of "low-level" (NOT low-hazard) radioactive waste (LLRW), representing about 90% of the total volume and 99+% of the radioac- tivity of all LLRW produced in Illinois from all sources. Each reactor also produces about 30 to 50 tons of "high-level" radioactive wastes (HLRW) each year.

How do nuclear plants affect sea life?
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.
How close is Texas to Kansas?
Texas is very close in proximity to Kansas. Texas is in fact a neighboring state to Kansas. Kansas is just Northeast of Texas.
What is the halfway point between Salmon Idaho and Kansas City Missouri?
The halfway point is basically the area where Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming meet. This is not an exact answer, but in relative terms this is the halfway point between Salmon, Idaho and Kansas City, Missouri. If your looking for a town, then I would say the capitol city of Wyoming (Cheyenne) is pretty much as close as your going to get to a city halfway between Salmon and K.C.
