Why do we have nuclear power plants?
We have nuclear power plants to generate electric power without the generation of green house gasses. Yes, these complex systems pose risks, but we do our best to design and build them so they operate safely.
What are the moral reasons for or against nuclear power?
Moral reasons aren't an issue for Nuclear power affairs.. Everything may be dangerous at its beginning, but there isn't another way to develop something without running risks. Moral is related to customs. In the future, I believe that solar energy will substitute nuclear power, unless it becomes much more safer than today is.

Do microwaves have any nuclear power?
There is no nuclear power involved in a microwave unless the electricity used to power it is from a nuclear power plant.
What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
Risk and benefits of nuclear power plant in Philippines?
risks and benefits of nuclear power
What is french nuclear power and is it good for the envronment?
All nuclear power is good for the environment. While there are certainly risks, when you look at the big picture, you discover that nuclear power is less risky or dangerous than fossil fueled plants, particularly from an environmental standpoint. Most moderns French plants are PWR's, Pressurized Water Reactors. Please see the Related Link below for more information.
French main source of energy?
nuclear power plants
Is nuclear power a good source despite it risks?
No. Not enough uses that slowly kill you and are extremely explosive.
Why do we have nuclear power plants?
We have nuclear power plants to generate electric power without the generation of green house gasses. Yes, these complex systems pose risks, but we do our best to design and build them so they operate safely.
Will Japan build more nuclear plants?
Yes. They have to. (And so do we.) Nuclear power is the only viable means of power we have in the immediate and intermediate future, considering all of the factors, even accounting for all the risks.
Is it a good idea to have a Power Station in Ireland?
Ireland has many power stations, but no nuclear ones, which you may be referring to. There are risks associated with nuclear power stations and to date Ireland does not have one. Power in power stations is generated by peat, wind and water, amongst other things.
What issue associated with nuclear power is the biggest source of debate?
The biggest source of debate associated with nuclear power is the issue of safety. Critics argue that accidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima demonstrate the risks involved with nuclear power, while proponents highlight improved safety measures in newer reactor designs and the potential for low-carbon electricity generation. The ongoing debate revolves around whether the benefits of nuclear power, such as its low carbon emissions and high energy efficiency, outweigh the potential risks.
What does France do for energy?
Just over 78% of French electricity is produced by nuclear power.
Does the UK need nuclear power stations?
Everyone needs nuclear power. All things considered, it remains the best and safest source of energy that we have available for the present and the reasonable future. There are a lot of alternative energy solutions out there, but they will not be sufficiently advanced in the near future to support our energy needs. Yes, there are risks, but they need to be put into rational perspective, including understanding the fact that the global risks of fossil fuel power are actually greater than nuclear.
How many power plants are in France?
France has 58 nuclear power plants. Go to this web site: http://www.edf.fr/accueil-fr/edf-and-power-generation/nuclear-power-122172.html and you will see. This site is run by EDF, the French nuclear power utility.
