Why japan does not use natural energy instead of nuclear?
nuclear energy is perfectly natural, what do you think powers the sun: nuclear fusion.
What do you think about Nuclear Fusion?
A new idea that could be a answer to energy problems.
Which alternative energy source do you think should be developed in the future?
I consider that the nuclear energy is a chance for the future.
When energy is released by the combination of two elements during a nuclear reaction what is it called?
You think probable to the energy of fusion.
Which alternative energy source do you think should developed in the future explain.?
I consider that the nuclear energy is a chance for the future.
Does a MRI machine use nuclear fusion or fission?
it uses nuclear fusion-I don't think so!! It uses electrical energy to move the magnetic fields around in order to scan the subject. Nuclear fusion is not used for any purpose on earth except H-bombs
Connection between nuclear reaction to global warming?
I don't think there is any connection, apart from the fact that the sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion
Is nuclear fusion feasable and if so do you think MCF or ICF?
I found the website K1 Project very helpful. They had several articles underneath their Learn/Energy tab which should answer any questions about nuclear fusion.
What is nuclear energy made from?
In general, nuclear energy comes from the energy associated with atomic nuclei. There is nuclear fusion, which happens in stars and in fusion weapons, and there is nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion is the "combining" of lighter atomic nuclei to create heavier ones, and many fusion reactions release energy. (Again, think of stars.) In contrast, nuclear fission is the "splitting" of atomic nuclei to release energy. The latter is technology that we've come to use fairly widely, and we have developed fission nuclear weapons and the nuclear reactor to tap nuclear energy via fission. Let's look at the latter device, the reactor. The fission of nuclear fuel (also known as atomic fuel, such as uranium or plutonium) is where we get nuclear energy. And what happens during nuclear fission is that the nuclei of fuel atoms absorb neutrons and fission (split), releasing lots of energy. In fission, that larger atomic nucleus breaks into a pair of smaller ones, and these fission fragments recoil with a lot of kinetic energy. The fuel traps the fission fragments, and the energy they came away with is converted into thermal energy in the fuel. We derive nuclear energy by tapping the energy of formation of atomic nuclei via fusion or fission. This is advanced technology that is less than a century old. We're still working to use it well and wisely.
In a nuclear fusion reaction mass is transformed into?
It is often stated that mass is transformed to energy. This is wrong, since both mass and energy are conserved in a chemical reaction - or in a nuclear reaction. The Wikipedia article on "binding energy" clarifies this.
When the clouds contracts and powerful reactions start to turn hydrogen atoms into helium atoms to produce energy a forms?
You think to nuclear fusion.
Who studies Fission and fusion of atoms?
a nuclear physicist.
