Question

fyi im not saying we shud have nuclear power plants, but its for a report and after all the research, i still cant think of a good place

Answer 1

Hi,
I'm living on the other side of the world so I don't know the area, but let me give you the main points in finding a place for nuclear powerplant.

1. Safety (come first):
1.a. ground - check area that is not prone to earthquakes.
1.b. ground - check for soil that will not allow to penetrate water if there is a leak.
1.c. wind - check for wind pattern, so if there is radioactive could it will be diffused easily.
2. Cooling.
2.a powerplant needs water to cool it, best position is near the see or main river (with high rate of flow).

After all this was said I have to say although nuclear energy is the most efficient (and probably cheep) energy source, the safety hazard is too big, better to invest more money in geothermal, hydro, solar or wind energy.

Answer 2

Mound Industries will likely pick an area close to it's labs.
Convenience of employees. It is easier to be near a lake & not have to build a man made lake.
There is a nuclear plant 22 miles from my home town & we have over 600,000 people within that 25 miles. There is a earthquake fault less than 1/2 mile from it. When it was built in 1987, everyone in the area was convinced we would all die or have awful lives because of the nuclear plant. We have never had any problems with it. Mostly everyone forgets it is there.
Our state has 22% of our power created by nuclear power plants.
I believe anywhere around Dayton would fulfill the needs for a nuclear power plant. No one will want it in their back yards, but if we want to get away from our dependency on oil & gas, nuclear is inexpensive & a viable choice.

Answer 3

Well, there's already several along the Ohio River, including one on the southwest side of Cincinnati. If you want to put one nearer to Dayton, I'd probably say west of town 25 miles or so, it's very rural and would be away from the population center.

Answer 4

I don't think there IS a good location for a nuclear powerplant. I live in Dayton and don't want one close to me.

Answer 5

Corner of Needmore and North Dixie, it would help improve the neighborhood. Access from the highway.

Answer 6

anywhere..cus its not near me???
