Does nuclear power station provides cleaner more efficient energy?
It's definitely cleaner than fossil fuels. It produces very little pollution, just waste, which can be stored safely. As for whether it's more "efficient", you need to define what you mean. Nuclear power plants use far smaller amounts of fuel than fossil plants.
Is a nuclear generator 100 percent efficient?
No, no machine is 100% efficient.
Does the nuclear power station provides cleaner more efficient energy?
The main advantage of nuclear power is that it does not depend on manufacturing carbon dioxide from carbon fuels, as gas, oil and coal power plants do, so nuclear power plants save millions of tons of CO2 being dumped into the atmosphere.
How efficient is nuclear?
Nuclear power plants such as PWR and BWR have a thermal efficiency around 33 percent. The best fossil fired plants are around 40 percent efficient.
How effective is nuclear energy?
The reason nuclear energy is most efficient today is, because with little it can create a hundred times more. For instance, Japan's entire economy is constructed on nuclear energy. Even if they have suffered, because of some inconveniences, before that they use to be the leading economical giant. In general nuclear energy is the most efficient resource on the planet, right now.
What has the author J J Gertler written?
J. J. Gertler has written: 'Emerging technologies in the strategic arena' -- subject(s): Weapons systems 'Some policy implications of nuclear winter' -- subject(s): Nuclear disarmament, Nuclear warfare

What can we design to stop industrial pollution?
Fast neutron nuclear reactors, among other new Nuclear technologies. Nuclear power is the cleanest most efficient power source. Reducing burning of fossil fuels will significantly reduce pollution in the atmosphere.
How efficient is uranium?
Uranium is very efficient as nuclear fuel or nuclear weapon. Uranium is an alternative to fossil fuels.
Is a nuclear generator 100 percent efficient?
No, no machine is 100% efficient.
Why nuclear power is important?
Nuclear energy is the most important energetic source against the shortage of fossil fuels as oil and methane. Solar and wind technologies are location specific.

What is a cleaner type of a power plant?
nuclear
What did the nuclear non-proliferation treaty intend to do?
Prevent the spread of Nuclear Weapons related technologies to countries that did not already have them.
What responsibility do you have to prevent the mining of uranium?
An open question exists as to why an individual would want to prevent uranium mining. Until a better, cleaner way to generate electric power comes along, we are stuck running what we have (including nuclear power plants). Our focus needs to be developing and moving to those cleaner power generation technologies. Uranium is a necessary nuclear fuel, and our efforts should be aimed at safety of nuclear facilities and at environmental issues surrounding uranium mining (and all mining, for that matter).
How efficient is nuclear?

How is nuclear fusion an efficient energy source?
It isn't, yet.
