[QUOTE="Veloc, post: 1063482032, member: 92511"] Chill here bros... Don't get hotter than the already hot nuclear incident. I'm in environmental science and studied a bit on nuclear power plant before. Though that is not my major field. It is best and ideal to have many smaller plants. But financially, it is very tough because of "economy of scale". It is cheaper to build a big one and the price per power will be cheaper too. Lets say the cost of building one big one is around RM 20 billion. But building two small ones wouldn't cost RM 10 billion each. It will probably be RM 17 billion each. That is what I mean... So the cost doesn't justify... And as for maintenance etc, whenever the lorries needs to transport stuff to the plants, if you have one plant, they will need to reach one destination only. But if you got many small plants in many place, all those places will have to be reached! So small size plants are okay. But there is a minimum size and power to justify the amount of $$ spent.
