Do other countries ulitize nulear power more or less than US?

Several countries utilize nuclear power more than the US, including France, which relies heavily on nuclear energy for electricity generation. Countries such as China and Russia also have significant nuclear power programs. However, there are also countries that utilize nuclear power less than the US, such as Germany and Japan, which have reduced their reliance on nuclear energy in recent years.


Is electricity from nuclear power the same as more powerful or radioactive compared to electrical energy from other power plants?

Electricity from nuclear power plants is generated using the heat produced by nuclear reactions, which is the same form of energy used in other power plants but the process of generation is different. This does not make electricity from nuclear power more powerful or radioactive compared to electricity from other sources; the radioactivity of electricity is not influenced by the source of generation.


Why is nuclear energy used more widely in countries that have meager energy supplies?

Nuclear energy is favored in countries with limited energy resources because it provides a stable and consistent source of power that is not dependent on imports. Additionally, nuclear power plants have high energy density and can produce large amounts of electricity in a relatively small space, making them attractive for countries with limited land availability. Lastly, nuclear power can help reduce dependence on fossil fuels and decrease greenhouse gas emissions, which is especially important for countries looking to meet sustainability goals.


How many country use the nuclear energy?

Nuclear energy makes up 80% of France's energy intake. The USA has over 100 power plants and many countries are building more nuclear power plants (like India and China.) Poland is starting on Nuclear energy in 2020.


What is a nuclear exchange?

Why does Europe and other countries like japan have more nuclear power plants campared to other types of power?

France produces about 80% of its electricity by nuclear plants, but this is an exception in Europe, most countries with nuclear plants have about 20%, as in the USA. Not sure about Japan, but nuclear appeals there I think because they have little fossil fuels in the country. See www.world-nuclear.org for a more detailed survey.
