yes a coal is nature nuclear uses lots of power
Process for production of power from coal is very inefficient , More over it produces lot of carbon dioxide in to atmosphere (harmful green house gas).
While Process for production of power from Nuclear plant is very good when compared with coal power. But initial and maintenance cost is very high.
Unit cost for coal power is more economical than nuclear power. So economically coal power station is better. But on the basis of efficiency Nuclear power stations are good.
When the deaths caused by the two types of mining are considered, coal fired systems have a much higher overall death rate. But the coal mining industry is improving this.

What waste problems of nuclear power plants is NOT a problem with a coal burning power plant?
fear of the waste.
What is pit head power station?
A pithead is a power plant that is located in coal min e itself and thus reduces operating cost as transportation cost of carrying coal to power plant is reduced.
Who invented the coal power plant?
Edison was the first to build and run a power station, on a small scale but supplying a number of consumers
How safe is a city near a nuclear power plant?
Usually very, often safer than one near a coal plant.
What types of energy sources are there?
there are many such as: Wind energy Solar energy coal oil Natural Gas Hydroelectric Power Nuclear Power Geothermal I could go on, but it will be a VERY long list.
What produces cheaper electricity- a coal burning station or a nuclear power station?
coal
Which type of power station uses chemical energy to generate electricity coal fired or nuclear?
Coal fired
What is the difference between a nuclear power station and coal fired power station?
The difference is in the name; nuclear power plants produce electricity via a nuclear reaction producing head to turn a turbine, whereas coal fired power plants burn coal to produce the same efffect.
What fuel do they use kingnorth power station?
You mean Kingsnorth in the UK? It is not nuclear, coal is used there.
What are the main fuels used in a power station?
Coal, oil, gas, gravity (hydro) and nuclear
Describe 6 difference method of producing electricity?
Hydro electricity (Water power) Diesel generator Coal fired power station Nuclear power station Gas fired power station Wind turbine generators.
Where does a generating station get its power?
There are several ways to generate electricity. Solar, wind, coal, nuclear, diesel etc.
How much coal does a nuclear power station use per year?
A nuclear power station does not use coal to generate the heat to generate electric power. That nuclear power station uses a nuclear fission reactor as the heat source, and it will use no coal at all. There is an indirect use of coal by nuclear power plants. For example, in the United States, nearly all of the fuel for nuclear plants is enriched using power from a dedicated coal burning power plant. That plant, interestingly, is rated as having the highest level of pollutants of any coal plant in the country. Nevertheless, the amount of coal used is very, very small, when considered in terms of its amount per power consumed. Nuclear power plants also consume fossil fuels in many other ways during their lifetimes. These include construction, mining, refinement, enrichment (as mentioned above), decommissioning, transportation and operations, decommissioning, and waste disposal. Any of these could consume some amount of coal. Current estimates of the greenhouse gas emissions related to nuclear power plants seem to average about a quarter the amount produced by combined cycle natural gas plants with cogeneration, or about a tenth of that of coal plants.
What accidents might occur from working in coal power stations?
For one, the coal power station might blow up if it gets too hot, obviously causing an accident. Basically, a coal power station worker's biggest worry is if it will blow up. GO NUCLEAR ENERGY AND BARACK OBAMA
What is the nearest power station to darlington?
Darlington power station refers to a series of two coal-fired power stations situated in Darlingtonin County Durham, North East England.
The electricity energy that is transferred in a TV comes from a power stationwhere is the energy transferred from to make the electricity in the power station?
Depends on what kind of power station it is, can bea nuclear power plant, a coal-burning power plant, a wind turbine, or a hydroelectric power station.
Compare and contrast coal and nuclear power plant?
coal is black nuclear is purple
