The UK has been nuclear for a very long time. It has lots of nuclear energy stations and lots of nuclear weapons.
energy star they last a long time
Everything can be recycled-Its only a matter of time-Even nuclear energy will decay over time-a long long time
There is no such thing. However, there are some energy sources - such as our Sun - which can last a long, long time.
1. releases large amounts of energy from small amounts of mass 2. very efficient 3. convert nuclear energy into thermal energy 4. the fuel lasts a long time

Nuclear energy is not gathered or created. There is a saying to go along with this: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form. That saying is called the Law of the Conservation of Energy. Nuclear is a type of potential energy so this concept applies to it. There are many ways nuclear energy can be used. Lets say submarines. Most people have heard of the nuclear powered submarines. They can stay under water for a long time because they have basically unlimited energy. The submarines are powered by a nuclear reactor causing a series of nuclear reactions. The submarine uses the nuclear reactions as power. Generally it will get converted to mechanical or electrical energy (both types of Kinetic energy).
In current nuclear power plants, nuclear energy is released when U235 undergoes fission. This energy is not stored, it is used as soon as it is released, to produce electricity.
The solar energy and warmth from our Sun, the energy created by our winds and tides.
nuclear power is going to be around for much longer, more fission reactors will be built to compensate in the increase in energy usage and more research is being done to make fusion energy which will replace fission reactors(this is quite a while yet before fusion reactors can be used to produce use usable energy for long periods of time).
Yes it provides energy as long as it has radioactivity, but the amount is so huge, the substance's maintenance cost is very high; its dangerous and difficult to handle it.
They don't always last long. The time varies depending on how long the energy is stored inside the object. If it was stored in there for about a year, it would only last about 5 mins; but if it was stored in for lets say 10 years, it would last a long time! Hope that Helps! =)
