Nuclear power can be expensive to build and maintain due to the high capital costs and safety regulations, but once operational, the cost of fuel is relatively low compared to other sources. Overall, the total cost of electricity generation from nuclear power is influenced by many factors including construction, fuel, operation, and decommissioning costs.
No, nuclear power does not run out of energy like fossil fuels do. Nuclear power plants generate electricity by using uranium or thorium as fuel, which undergoes a process called nuclear fission to produce energy. As long as there is fuel available and the plant is properly maintained, nuclear power can continue to generate electricity indefinitely.
No normal household objects use nuclear force to run. Nuclear force is typically only used in nuclear power plants or atomic bombs where atomic nuclei are split or combined to release energy.
There is no fixed number, but most nuclear stations have two reactors. These are usually run quite separately, with separate generating equipment, so that whilst one reactor is being refuelled the other can continue to produce power. Some stations have more than two reactors, but usually then they have been built over a long time period and the later ones may be of an improved design.
Yes, nuclear power plants are legal in the United States. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulates nuclear power plants to ensure they operate safely and securely. There are currently over 90 commercial nuclear power reactors operating in the US.
A power plant is an example of nuclear energy because it generates electricity through nuclear reactions, usually fission. The energy released from these reactions is harnessed to produce heat, which then drives turbines to generate electricity.
They are expensive to build but relatively cheap to run because the fuel costs are lower.
Clean, cheap energy that will never run out produced in a relatively small power plant. It's a no-brainer.

yes nuclear power
Nuclear power produces heat, used to make steam to run generators.

Generators are nearly always used for nuclear power, and sometimes used for solar power. In nuclear power plants, the reactor makes steam to run a generator. Much of solar produced electricity does not use a generator, but produces power through a photovoltaic effect. Concentrated solar can be used to make steam to run a generator.
The vast majority run on fossil fuels. There are also nuclear, wind, hydro power stations or plants. In some places there are geothermal power plants.

No, because the highest amount of energy needed in a nuclear fusion is 40,000,000 K, which is only known to occur on the sun.
The source of nuclear power is the nucleus of an atom; any atom. As long as there is mass in the universe there will be a source of nuclear power. Even if in the future we run out of the radioactive material we currently use to fuel nuclear power plants, it would be foolish to assume that we will never again be able to harness nuclear energy in another way.
