What are the examples of nuclear energy?

Nuclear bombs, nuclear power plants, the sun.


What is a catchy nuclear power slogan?

nuclear energy is the sun not a bomb


What are some exampels of nuclear energy?

the sun, atomic bombs, nuclear power plants


Does Nuclear power plants on Earth create energy in the same way as the Sun?

No, nuclear power plants get their energy from fissionof the heavy element uranium, the sun gets its energy from fusion of the light element hydrogen.


What is the difference between the sun's energy and a nuclear power plant?

the sun is powered by fusion, the power plant by fission


The sun's energy is most likely the result of?

The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion.The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion.The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion.The Sun gets its energy from nuclear fusion.


Where and when has nuclear energy been used?

Nuclear weapon, nuclear (atomic) power stations. Also the Sun works on nuclear reactions.


Is solar the same as nuclear?

Solar power is derived from nuclear fusion in the sun. It is nothing to do with nuclear energy as produced on earth


How does nuclear energy relate to the sun?

We derive electromagnetic energy from the nuclear fusion reactions on the sun. We also apply nuclear energy (fission) on earth to generate lots of thermal energy, which we use in a steam cycle to generate lots of electric power.


What is the relationship between solar energy produced by the sun to nuclear energy your facilities use?

Energy produced in the sun arises from nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei, whilst nuclear energy used in power plants comes from fission of uranium nuclei. They are very different.


What energy source don't come from the sun?

Hydro power did originate from the sun. The energy required to transport water from the lower level to the higher level thus increasing its potential energy required the sun to heat it. Even ocean tidal and wind power also originated at the sun. Gravitational forces causing tides relies on the sun.


Why sun is called the element souces of energy?

Because all the energy on and in the Earth will have come, in one form or another, from the Sun. e.g. coal will have form from plants that only grew because of the Sun's energy. However, when considering nuclear power, atoms did not come from the Sun and nuclear energy is not due to the Sun.
