Question 3: Present maps of the Nuclear Power Plants in North America. Question 4: Hydroelectric Information (a) What is the projected power capability of the Three Gorges Hydroelectric Plant in MW? Answer: 18,200 MW (maximum output) (from http://www.ctgpc.com/) (b) How does this compare to the power capability of the largest Hydroelectric Power Plant in the United States? Answer: The largest plant in the US has a maximum output of 6,480 MW. (from http://www.power-technology.com/projects/coulee/) © Where is this plant located and what is its name?

(from http://www.forbes.com/profile/anne-lauvergeon/) China Syndrome: the idea that if a nuclear plant melts down (due to a pump breaking and heat building up), it will melt all the way to China. Ionization: the process of shooting the neutron into the fuel assembly to get energy. Radioactive material:
