1) Determine the fraction of electricity generated by nuclear power plants in your state, country, or local electric utility's region.

2) Locate the nearest nuclear plant to your home and determine as much of the following information as you can: (a) type of reactor; (b) maximum rated power output in MWe or GWe; (c) year of initial operation; (d) capacity factor (actual annual energy production as a fraction of the production if the plant produced energy at its maximum power all the time); (e) the status of its high-level nuclear waste (spent fuel).

3) If you're a resident of the United States, find your average annual radiation dose using the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Personal Annual Radiation Dose Calculator at nrc.gov/about-nrc/radiation/around-us/calculator.html

4) Use the latest data to extend the "Actual percentage" curve in Figure 7.22. Has the production of nuclear-generated electricity been increasing or decreasing since 2015, the last year of actual data included in the figure? ESSAY FORMAT PLEASE
