How long can a power plant continue to generate electricity without maintenance by people?
+0
−0
The situation is as follows: there is a city with different districts, each provided with electric power from a different power plant:
- Thermal power plant
- nuclear power plant
- Hydroelectric power plant
- Wind power plant
- Solar power plant
All the people have disappeared at the same time, in the middle of the day, so now nobody maintains the power plants anymore.
- Will power plants continue to produce and deliver electricity to the houses?
- How long it will be possible to use the electrical energy to the abandoned houses of this city?
- How soon will each type of power station break down?
- Does disaster happen (like the explosion of a nuclear reactor)?
- Which stations will last longer?
