Power stations are often situated far from consumers to take advantage of economies of scale and access to abundant Natural Resources, such as water for hydroelectric plants or coal for coal-fired plants. Additionally, locating power stations away from densely populated areas helps minimize environmental and health risks associated with emissions and waste disposal. Finally, transmitting electricity over long distances at high voltages reduces energy losses and allows for efficient distribution to consumers over a wide geographic area.
Most of the electricity in the US is produced by burning fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas, and oil in power plants. Nuclear power and renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydroelectric power also contribute to the electricity generation mix.
Your question is far too broad to be answered specifically. The number of different metals used in a nuclear power station is huge. If you just want to know what is used for fuel, that is generally an isotope of Uranium.
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.
The closest nuclear power plant to Bowie High School in Maryland is Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, located about 45 miles away in Lusby, Maryland.
The "smoke like gas" emitted from nuclear power stations is water vapor. And though water vapor is technically a "greenhouse gas", the amount emitted by nuclear power stations is a drop in the bucket compared to all the other sources of water vapor. However these gases are released at high temperatures, so they are injected high into the atmosphere.Nuclear power produces far less emissions than a coal-burning power plant, but it is not entirely "emissions-free", as some people claim.To dig up the uranium and extract the ore produces between 10 and 50 tonnes of carbon dioxide for every tonne of uranium oxide.A normal nuclear power plant producing 1000MW needs 200 tonnes of uranium oxide per year, which means between 2000 and 10 000 tonnes of Carbon dioxide per year, just mining the fuel. Not to mention the carbon from the shipping of the fuel.See the link below.
False . There are far more consumers than producers.
Cape York Peninsula is located in far north Queensland.

Conversions are expensive, you get reduced range and power, filling stations are few and far between and the cylinders take up space.
Brisbane Airport is actually situated within Queensland.
You can if the local TV stations are not to far away, select a VHF/UHF antenna. If the stations are far away, mount the antenna as high as possible. Check with your neighbors that have antennas.
Setting up proper zones of commercial and residential together but keep industrial far away. set up roads,power and water.Then add parks near places with a low auro and lots of fire stations police stations schools and hospitals.
Eyewash stations should be no more than 10 seconds walk from where chemicals are used and splashed may occur.
