Russia uses nuclear power because it provides a reliable and stable source of energy to meet the country's growing electricity demands. Nuclear power also helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels, contributing to energy security and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, Russia has a long history and extensive experience in nuclear technology, making it a natural choice for producing electricity.
The Obninsk Nuclear Power Plant in Russia, which began operation in 1954, is considered the world's first nuclear power plant.
Some countries with nuclear power plants include the United States, France, China, Russia, Japan, and South Korea. These countries rely on nuclear energy for electricity generation.
The Kudankulam Nuclear Power Station is a collaboration between India and Russia. It is located in the state of Tamil Nadu in India.
Several countries operate commercial nuclear reactors, including the United States, France, China, Russia, Japan, South Korea, and Canada. Each country has its own regulatory body overseeing the operation of these reactors to ensure safety and compliance with international standards.
Nuclear power plants primarily use uranium as a fuel source. The uranium is enriched to increase the concentration of the fissionable isotope U-235, which then undergoes nuclear fission to generate heat that is used to produce electricity.
