No, fission is still a fuel in - waste out reaction. Eventually the supply of nuclear fuel would run out.

How could nuclear energy which is classified as a nonrenewable energy resource be reclassified as an inexhaustible energy resource?

Nuclear energy is a non-renewable source since there is a very tiny amount of Uranium-235, whose fission results in nuclear energy. If a more abundant element could be used in nuclear reactors, such as, say, nitrogen or oxygen, it would effectively become inexhaustible. However, current technology does not allow for this since these atoms are too small to be accurately and repetitively bombarded (which is a key part of the fission process).


Why is the method of fission energy a bad thing?

Because the nuclear fission area could explode


Is nuclear nonrewable or renewable?

It cold be considered renewable as in some nuclear fission reactors; called breeder reactors; more fuel could be produced than what is consumed and on the other hand uranium is one of the most abundant minerals on earth crust and water. On the other hand, fusion nuclear energy is based on unlimited resources of deuterium and tritium.


What are two advantages of a nuclear fission reactor?

it is a clean source of producing energy and doesn't cause CO2 or greenhouse gas emissions.It is safer than other fossil or renewable energy sources.it could be used for medical treatment.


Will there be more nuclear fission in the future?

The future of nuclear fission may see increased use due to growing energy demands and a shift towards low-carbon energy sources. Advances in technology, such as small modular reactors (SMRs) and improvements in safety and waste management, could enhance its appeal. However, challenges like public perception, regulatory hurdles, and competition from renewable energy sources could influence its adoption. Overall, while fission may grow, its future will depend on a complex interplay of factors.


Can Nuclear fission occur in quarks?

Currently, it can't. May be it could be in future.


How could nuclear fission be used indirectly?

Nuclear fission can be used indirectly to generate electricity by heating water to produce steam, which drives turbines connected to generators. This process is used in nuclear power plants to provide a constant and efficient source of electricity for homes and businesses.


How could you design a powerstation to take advantage of nuclear fission?

Within this power station, what are the control rods: What are they made from? What do they do? How do they do it?


What could cause a renewable natural resources to become a nonrenewable resources?

Trees are a natural renewable resource, but if we don't grow (and nourish to maturity) more trees to replace them, they then become a non-renewable resource.


What is the name of the Hungarian physicist who suggested to Albert Einstein that nuclear fission could be used as a deterrent to war?

What would happen to a nuclear plant if the fission reaction goes critical or out of control?

There are emergency safety system that could be used to bring the nuclear plant again under control.


When uranium will blast?

Uranium itself does not blast or explode on its own. It can undergo a process called nuclear fission in a controlled environment such as a nuclear reactor, leading to a highly energetic chain reaction. Uncontrolled fission could result in a nuclear explosion.
