solar power answers
How much space and time is required to build A single Nuclear reactor versus a solar power Plant?
So I would like you to give me the cost, the time to build the KW/h it produces and the space a nuclear reactor requires. As well as the same for any single solar power plant.
(All the stats of each have to be from a any, but all have to be from the same one)
It’s self-directed homework that’s due in today, but I just wanted to know the answer in the end.
This is a loaded question with many right answers. I’ll take a stab at it though.
The largest proposed photovoltaic power station in the world is in Victoria, Australia and is estimated to produce 154 megawatts. It will utilize 2,000 acres of land.
Conversely, the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear station in Japan is the largest nuclear power station in the world. It produces a little over 8,000 megawatts and utilizes 1,037 acres of land.
Using these two extreme examples, nuclear power produces roughly 100 times more energy per acre than solar energy. Arguably, nuclear power stations are still cheaper to construct than solar energy stations. The cost of photovoltaic cells is still high as technology hasn’t improved enough to reduce their cost.
There are many other factors that come into play that complicate the decision between which is ultimately the cheaper solution for energy production. There are factors like cost of land, environmental impact of land use, longevity of the facilities, long-term environment effects, and so on.
I can’t answer how much each costs to build and the time for construction. Let us know what you came up with.
