What energy source is used to create nuclear energy?

Nuclear energy arises in a fission reactor by the splitting of nuclei of uranium or plutonium, there is no need for any energy source to start the process. You just set the chain reaction going by assembling enough fissile material with a moderator in the right geometrical arrangement, and away it goes. Another answer: The energy source is the weak nuclear force, from the nucleus of the atom. In other words, nuclear energy IS the energy source.

What is Uranium energy used for?

Uranium energy is primarily used as fuel in nuclear power plants to generate electricity. It undergoes nuclear fission, in which the uranium nucleus splits into smaller parts, releasing a large amount of energy. Uranium can also be used in nuclear weapons due to its ability to undergo fission reactions.


Is fission nuclear energy chemical energy or mechanical energy?

Nuclear fission is a type of nuclear reaction that converts nuclear energy into thermal energy (heat), which can then be used to generate mechanical energy (such as electricity). So, fission nuclear energy originates as nuclear energy and can be converted into mechanical energy.


How does nuclear energy help with robots?

No, nuclear energy is only used to make electricity


How is nuclear energy converted to light energy?

In nuclear power plants, nuclear energy is used to produce heat, which is then used to generate steam. The steam drives a turbine connected to a generator that produces electricity. The electricity produced can then be used to power light fixtures, converting nuclear energy to light energy.


What are the relationships between electrical energy and nuclear energy?

Nuclear energy is used to produce electrical energy, but there is no direct relationship


What can be used by nuclear energy?

Uranium is used to make energy by fission
