∙ 11y agoatoms's sub-particles electron neutron and proton are held together by very strong nuclear force if we supply energy enough these forces tend to break and along with disintegration of atoms it releases lot of energy.
nuclear energy comes from breaking these forces by the methods of fission(breaking the particle from large nuclei to small nuclei) while fusion (combining two small nuclei into bigger nuclei of atoms)
energy produced in fusion is much larger as compared to fission

∙ 15y agoThe majority of power in nuclear reactors comes from the fission of U235 nuclei, which releases heat. There is also some Pu239 which is formed from U238 and this is also fissionable.

Where does the power come from in the use of nuclear fuels?
Energy contained in bonds within a nucleus that is converted to kinetic energy.
Why do you use nuclear power?
We use nuclear power because it produces cheap electricity and they reduce the need to import fossil fuels.
How nuclear fuels can be use to generate electricity?
Nuclear fissions in nuclear fuels generate heat and electricity.
Depend on nuclear energy?
When nuclear power plants started to be built, around 1960, they were thought to be able to provide cheaper power than conventional fossil fuels. Nowadays this is known to be over optimistic, however with the emphasis now on avoiding production of greenhouse gases, nuclear has advantages over fossil fuels. It is not likely though to overtake the use of fossil fuels for a long time to come.
How does nuclear energy conserve fossil fuels?
Nuclear energy conserves the use of fossil fuel because if there is a nuclear power station there is no need to burn fossil fuel in that region.

How does Canada use its uranium?
Fabrication of nuclear fuels to generate electricity in nuclear power reactors.
What does japanese use nuclear power for?
Japan uses nuclear power for energy instead of items such as coal and fossil fuels.
Which fuels does Japan use?
Nuclear Power
What would make the US want to use nuclear energy?
Some reasons could be: * Availability of nuclear fuel * Availability of nuclear technology * Declining reserves of fossil fuels * Power generation Potential of nuclear fuels
How nuclear fuels can be use to generate electricity?
Nuclear fissions in nuclear fuels generate heat and electricity.
Nuclear power plants can produce energy more cheaply and with less pollution them plants that use fossil fuels why are there not more nuclear power plants dad plants that burn fossil fuels?
The problem of disposing large amounts of nuclear waste is not resolved.

Why does japan use nuclear power?
Limited fossil fuels, air quality problems, need for electricity.
What would you use if all the fossil fuels run out?
Some possiblities of alternative energy: --Alkanol-based fuels --Nuclear power --Solar/photoelectricity --Hydroelectricity
How does nuclear energy conserve fossil fuels?
Nuclear energy conserves the use of fossil fuel because if there is a nuclear power station there is no need to burn fossil fuel in that region.
