1. It does not produce nuclear waste 2. It is free to run in terms of fuel costs 3. The operations are simple and do not need specially trained staff 4. There is no need for an expensive regulatory authority like the NRC 5. When the plant is worn out it can easily be dismantled and scrapped
What else can I help you with?
How many nuclear power plants can Three Gorges Dam generate?
This will be a hydro plant, or a series of them, not nuclear
How is hydro power better than wind power?
Hydropower is a more consistent and reliable source of renewable energy compared to wind power, which relies on wind availability. Hydropower also has the ability to store water in reservoirs for peak demand periods, providing better control over electricity generation. Additionally, hydropower tends to have a longer lifespan and can contribute to flood control and irrigation.
Is nuclear power banned?
No, nuclear power is not banned in most countries. However, some countries have chosen to phase out or discontinue nuclear power plants for various reasons such as safety concerns, cost, or public opinion. Generally, nuclear power is regulated and subject to strict safety protocols.
How many of the countries in the world do not have nuclear power reactors?
There are currently (year 2013) 31 countries having nuclear power reactors. The rest are not having nuclear power.
How does nuclear power compare to hydro power and biomass energy in terms of greenhouse gas emissions?
Neither nuclear power nor hydro power produce greenhouse gases during operation. Burning biomass produces CO2, but it can be argued that during the growing of the biomass material it absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere, so it is actually neutral.
Is nuclear power more powerful than hydro power?
No.
Why nuclear would not be a good alternative to hydroelectric power?
If hydro power is available, go for it. Most places don't have enough water or height to produce much hydro though. I hope nobody has built nuclear where hydro is available.
What are the types of electric power plants?
Nuclear, Thermal, Hydro, Windmill.
What are the common ways of getting electricity such as hydro electric power thermal power and nuclear power?
There are: Hydro electric, Nuclear, Solar, Wind, and Fossil fuels, Geo- thermal and Biofuels.Hydro electric has two categories : Tidal and Wave
What are the kind of power plant?
Coal fired, Nuclear Power, Gas Fired, Hydro, Wind Power.
What are the different kinds of power plants?
Coal fired, Nuclear Power, Gas Fired, Hydro, Wind Power.
How is nuclear power better than hydro electric power cost wise?
Hydro power depends on suitable water sources and terrain where you can build a dam to obtain the necessary head of water, so it can't be built anywhere, whereas a nuclear plant can be sited in most areas apart from earthquake zones, provided there is a supply of cooling water. So hydro is more limited in application, but I guess if there are the right conditions for building it, this will be the most economical in the long run, and there are no pollution worries. Nuclear plants should be compared with fossil fuel plants rather than hydro, as the choice is then more valid.

How is nuclear transported?
If you mean nuclear power, it is just regular electricity, so it's transmitted along regular hydro lines to the power plants, where it is distributed.
What are some major industries in Ontario?
Mining, Forestry, etc .
Is nuclear the best way to power electricity?
In my opinion the best way is hydro power, but there is not enough of it for all purposes
