<span><span>Large nameplate capacity per plant, typically around 1 GW.
</span><span>Typically 90% capacity factor, maximizing output from the nameplate capacity.
</span><span>Small fuel transportation volumes as the fissionable material just isn't that big or heavy compared to equivalent fossil fuel BTU sources.
</span><span>Low CO2 per MWH on a full life cycle basis. ~12 grams which is only slightly more than wind / solar.
This is a reason nuclear is a much better source for one of the major pressing problems of today than fossil fuels: global warming.</span>No particulate matter pollution.No sulfur dioxide or other chemical pollution.<span>Low fatalities per TWH. 
Nuclear is higher than renewables according to current statistics, but much, much lower than fossil fuel generation.</span></span>

Nuclear power generates lots of clean, stable energy.

Answer:

1. It serves as the functional unit of the nervous system. <em>b. neurons</em>

2. It collects information from the sense organ such as the eyes and the nose. <em>c. peripheral nervous  system</em>

3. It serves as the primary organ of the  central nervous system. f. spinal cord​  

4. It controls or regulates the body's internal brain environment, including the body temperature,  pulse and respiration rate, and bood pressure. <em>e. autonomic nervous  system</em>

5. It is one of the systems that is directly involved in maintaining the normal functions of cells. <em>d. nervous system</em>  

Explanation:

Neuron: Neurons are the structural and functional units in the nervous system.  Neurons transmit nervous impulses. These cells are formed in general by a cellular body, dendrites that are cytoplasmic extensions that receive stimuli from other cells, and an axon that is a long formation capable of conducting the electrochemical signals. Every neuron forms connections with other neurons. These connections are known as synapsis.

Peripheral nervous  system: Sense information is received by the peripheral nervous system and processed by neurons and synapses in the central nervous system. There are three types of neurons involved in this transmission: sensory or efferent neurons, interneurons, and motor or efferent neurons.

Spinal cord: The nervous system might be divided into the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. There are two organs involved in the central nervous system that funtion as control centers. One of them is the brain, and the other organ is the spinal cord, surrounded by the vertebral column.  

Autonomic nervous  system: The autonomic nervous system is conformed by the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. It has too many functions in the organisms, controlling pressure, heart bitting, body temperature, sexual responses, urination, digestion, general metabolism, among others. It controls and regulates the whole organism.  

The nervous system: Homeostasis refers to stability, balance, or equilibrium. The organism needs to maintain homeostasis to guarantee the correct functioning of cells, tissues, organs, and so on. The homeostatic regulation is controlled by the endocrine system and by the nervous system, which acts as the control center.
