The nuclear energy obtained from uranium or plutonium is the most important alternative to fossil fuels. Oil and methane will be exhausted in less than 100 years. Wind, geothermal, solar, organic wastes etc. are useful but not serious alternative for 10 billions inhabitants.
nuclear energy.....to produce nuclear energy the materials are expencive so nuclear energy is good but expensive to make and use it as energy
See the attached report on economics of nuclear power
Using uranium in nuclear reactors an economy of fossil fuels is possible; also nuclear reactors have no contribution to greenhouse effect.

Nuclear fission may do, though with fast breeder reactors we could make use of the large amount of Uranium 238 which is not useful at present, as we only use the U235 in the present type of reactors. In the long term (probably 100 years or so) nuclear fusion may be usable, and this really would extend nuclear power for thousands of years.
uranium is nuclear energy's source it is mined in areas like Canada, Brazil, Australia and etc that's all I know hoped it helped :)
Nuclear energy is obtained by the fissioning of nuclei of uranium235, in a controlled chain reaction in a nuclear reactor, which produces heat that can be converted to electricity by normal power plant methods.
Uranium-235, or 235U, is so well suited for use in a nuclear power station for energy production because it is extremely fissile, which means that it can be easily split, releasing binding energy, along with the production of more neutrons which can continue the process with other 235U atoms.
The international trade of uranium is strictly controlled by IAEA and other organizations.
It is true that a uranium nucleus splits in the nuclear fission of uranium.
The answer is FALSE. Products of Nuclear fission of Uranium are highly radioactive.
Uranium may suffer nuclear reactions, nuclear fission, nuclear decay.
The isotope uranium-235 (or uranium-233) under nuclear fission emit the energy of fission. This energy is transformed in heat and electricity.
This phenomenon is called nuclear fission.Nuclear fission of uranium-235 release a huge energy.
We can use plutonium in nuclear fission devices.
Uranium is nuclear fuel not renewable.The source of energy is the nuclear fission.
After the nuclear fission of uranium-235 many fission products (other elements) are formed.
- radioactive decay - nuclear fission - nuclear reactions
if the fission was of uranium, then yes. but many transuranic elements (e.g. plutonium, americium) also fission.
with the help of nuclear fission.
