How many nuclear power plants are in Arizona and what are there names?
There are three nuclear power plants in Arizona. These are Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, which is the largest nuclear plant in the United States, as well as the now-decommissioned Arizona 1 and Arizona 2 plants.
Why until recently was there no nuclear reactors in Mexico and Central America?
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.
Why are nuclear power plants rarely found in the desert?
Nuclear power plants require huge amounts of water for cooling, a resource not available in large quantities in most deserts. However, your question is not completely true as there are nuclear power plants in the desert. Palo Verde in Arizona is an example.
Are tourists allowed to go to palo verde power plant?
Yes, tourists can visit the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Arizona. The plant offers guided public tours that provide visitors with an opportunity to learn about nuclear energy and the facility's operations. However, advance reservations are usually required for these tours.
Is Mexico nuclear capable?
Mexico is capable of producing Nuclear power, it currently only has one power station called Laguna Verde Nuclear Power Station, located in Veracruz. Mexico might be capable of producing nuclear weapons, but they have laws against nuclear weapons, they are not allowed on Mexican soil. If Mexico were to produce nuclear weapons, their friendship with the United States will be ruined, the United States likes controlling Latin-American countries, and if a country such as Mexico has nuclear weapons, they can no longer enslave them.
What steps are being taken by Mexico for nuclear waste management?
Mexico belongs to the World Nuclear Association and the International Atomic Energy Agency. As such, it follows both agencies recommendations in terms of nuclear waste management. Currently (2018) it includes spent fuel storage facilities at the Laguna Verde nuclear power plant. Low-level waste is stored at a near-surface disposal site at La Piedrera, in the northern state of Zacatecas, since 1985.
What alternative energy is used in Acapulco Guerrero?
Mexico's energy grid includes several renewable sources, including geothermal, nuclear, hydroelectric, wind and solar. None of these however, are on the close proximity of Acapulco. The closest would be the Laguna Verde nuclear power plant, some 223 kilometers (138 miles) to the north of Acapulco, or La Venta wind generation plant, some 512 kilometers (318 miles) to the east of Acapulco.
What are Mexico's nuclear capabilities?
Mexico has two operating nuclear reactors on Laguna Verde, Veracruz with a capacity of 683 GW each. As host, founder and signatory country of the Treaty of Tlatelolco - which established Latin America and the Caribbean to be a nuclear weapons free zone - Mexico also has some nuclear research laboratories, but all are focused on civil applications and are supervised by the Agency for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean (OPANAL), based in Mexico City. Thus, Mexico does not have any nuclear weapons.

Where are some nuclear power plants in the US?
Some nuclear power plants in the US are located in states like Illinois, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and New York. Key nuclear plants include the Palo Verde Generating Station in Arizona, the Limerick Generating Station in Pennsylvania, and the Braidwood Generating Station in Illinois.
What is the largest power station in the US?
At the moment, the largest operating nuclear generation station is Bruce Power Nuclear Generating Station in Ontario, Canada. It has 6 units online out of 8 and is producing 4,640 MW, two more untis are being restarted and when they come back online in 2010 the capacity for Bruce Power will be 7,276 MW. The largest nuclear reactor station ever constructed is the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant in Japan, but it was shut down in 2007 due to earthquake damage.
