Where has nuclear fission been used?
Nuclear fission has been used in nuclear bombs and is currently being used in every nuclear power plant on the earth.
How can nuclear fission be used?
In general, physicists, and specifically nuclear physicists, use nuclear fission in experiments.
What form of nuclear energy is currently being used to produce electricity in the US?
The only form of nuclear energy currently used in the US, or anywhere in the world for that matter, to produce electricity is nuclear fission. There are ongoing experiments to attempt to use nuclear fusion, but the technological problems with that have not paid off yet.
What element is used in nuclear fission and is radioactive but is not uranium?
We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.
Is Nuclear fission is used in nuclear power plants?
Yes
Why nuclear fission better?
Nuclear fission is now commercially available in nuclear fission reactors since the fifties of last century. Nuclear Fusion is still under R&D. Nuclear fission reactors are clean energy source.
Is nuclear fission only used to create atomic bombs?
No, nuclear fission operates all nuclear reactors. If they are power plant reactors it is used to generate electricity.
How is heat of Nuclear fission used?
The heat from nuclear fission is what generates electricity. Water is heated in a nuclear reactor, which then generates steam which is used to power electrical generators.
Which nuclear reaction is used on earth to produce electricity?
Nuclear fission
What type of nuclear reaction are used in nuclear power plants?
fission
How could nuclear fission be used indirectly?
in nuclear fusion bombs
What particle is used to start nuclear fission?
In actuality, a spontaneous fission event begins a nuclear chain reaction. It kick starts a nuclear chain reaction. And a neutron from that fission will initiate another fission to continue and rev up that nuclear chain reaction.
