It depends on what you mean as "recently": the Laguna Verde power plant in Mexico and its two 4.8 GW nuclear reactors were built since 1976 and 1977, respectively. Also both became fully operational since 1989 and 1995. There are no other "commercial" nuclear power plants in Central America: there were two plants in Puerto Rico, but were dismantled or decommissioned since 1968. The island of Cuba tried to build a nuclear plant with the help of the Soviet Union, but the construction was suspended due to the collapse of the later. Panama (the canal zone) had a floating nuclear power plant, but was decommissioned since 1976. Finally, the island of Jamaica has a pair of reactors, but those have a nominal output of a mere 20 kW, so they are used almost exclusively for research.
If you mean why there are no new plants being built right now, the answer is the huge costs associated with such endeavour and the fears that resulted from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
What else can I help you with?
How does power generates?
Submarines are powered by diesel fuel (in the past) or more recently by nuclear reactors. Nuclear reactors provide advantages in range and in noise produced.
How many nuclear reactor plant are in America?
As of 2021, there are 93 commercial nuclear reactors operating in 28 states in the United States. These nuclear reactors are spread across 56 nuclear power plants.
How does submarine generates power?
Submarines are powered by diesel fuel (in the past) or more recently by nuclear reactors. Nuclear reactors provide advantages in range and in noise produced.
What process do nuclear reactors use?
Nuclear reactors use nuclear fission.
What regions in America is using nuclear energy?
See www.nrc.gov, there is a list of all states with nuclear power reactors.
How are nuclear reactors used in nuclear reactors?
Nuclear reactors use controlled nuclear fission reactions to generate heat, which is then used to produce steam that drives turbines to generate electricity. The heat is produced in the reactor core where nuclear fuel rods containing uranium or plutonium undergo fission reactions. The reactor's cooling system helps regulate the temperature and prevent overheating.
What nuclear reaction is currently used to produce nuclear energy in nuclear reactors?
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
How many nuclear reactors are in the world?
There are over 400 nuclear reactors around the world.
What is the bad things about the nuclear power reactors?
there are no bad things about the nuclear power reactors
How many nuclear reactors does France have?
France has 56 nuclear reactors in operation. This makes France one of the countries with the highest reliance on nuclear energy in the world.
Are there more fast breeder or thermal nuclear reactors?
Most nuclear reactors are thermal-neutron reactors. A few fast breeder reactors have been built, but not many.
What is about nuclear reactors that evokes hope in some and dread in others?
nuclear reactors that evokes dread
