How do you make a working model of nuclear power plant?
You would not be able to obtain the fissile material necessary to build a working model of a nuclear power plant. You could build a model, for sure, but it would not be a working model.
Why would people want to reprocess fuel rods from a nuclear power plant?
as it still has energy in it.
Why would you build a nuclear power plant in a middle of a desert?
Seems unlikely. Any power plant is useful only if it can deliver power to where it is required. Also you need a good source of water for cooling. The one clear advantage, however, is that it would be far from populated areas, and hence far less dangerous to people.
One group thinks the village should build a desalination plant which would be used to remove the salt from the nearby ocean water. What is the biggest problem with this plan?
the village probably cannot afford a desalination plant
How much does a nuclear power plant cost in US?
It is estimated a new nuclear plant built today in the US would cost $10-12 billion for a 1500-1600 MW plant. Then once you have the plant built, one load of fuel bundles would cost approx. $150 to $200 million.
