For the US, go to NRC website (www.nrc.gov), select Nuclear Reactors-New Reactors, you will see a page with a box containing links to COL applications and locations of new reactors. You can go through these and note both the energy company who will be the owners, and the design organisation.
For the rest of the world, website ( www.world-nuclear.org) has information on a country by country base.

Nuclear power relies on the process of nuclear fission, where an atom's nucleus is split, releasing a large amount of energy. This energy is used to generate heat, which in turn produces steam to drive turbines connected to a generator that produces electricity. The use of nuclear reactions differentiates nuclear power from traditional forms of energy production.

No, Sydney does not have a nuclear power station. Australia does not have any operational nuclear power plants.
Hartlepool Nuclear Power Station was created in 1983.
Uranium
Uranium is the most common element used in nuclear power plants to generate energy through a process called nuclear fission.
Energy. How we use it makes it a good thing or a bad thing.

Plutonium applications: - fuel for nuclear reactors - explosive for nuclear weapons - neutron source - isotopic power source - isotopic heat source - in the past, power source for pacemakers
An unstable nucleus which decays emitting a neutron.
Nuclear power relies on the process of nuclear fission, where an atom's nucleus is split, releasing a large amount of energy. This energy is used to generate heat, which in turn produces steam to drive turbines connected to a generator that produces electricity. The use of nuclear reactions differentiates nuclear power from traditional forms of energy production.
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
The fission energy of a nuclear reactor is heat. It makes steam which runs a turbine electric generator. The electricity is put on the power grid and is sent to the load.
