Large nameplate capacity per plant, typically around 1 GW.
Typically 90% capacity factor, maximizing output from the nameplate capacity.
Small fuel transportation volumes as the fissionable material just isn't that big or heavy compared to equivalent fossil fuel BTU sources.
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.No particulate matter pollution.No sulfur dioxide or other chemical pollution.Low fatalities per TWH.
Nuclear is higher than renewables according to current statistics, but much, much lower than fossil fuel generation.

Nuclear power generates lots of clean, stable energy.

Answer:

There are Five main compounds but our body need carbohydrate and protein more.

Explanation:

There are five major organic compounds that our body needs for normal metabolic processes. These are- Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids and high energy compounds. organic compounds are involved in almost all biochemical activities that is related to metabolism. The organic compounds always contain carbon. Carbs act as the source of energy to the body. They converted to glucose, which used in cellular respiration. Lipids act as fatty acids. Proteins have a structural function like keratin in skin and hair. Nucleic acids are large organic compounds that store and process information at the molecular level inside the body cells. High energy compounds like ATP serves as a source of cellular energy.
