U-235 isotope. (That is, of Uranium. It is a radioactive element.) The atoms are stocked in fuel rods, and the fission begins!

A nuclear reactor uses the energy from a controlled?
nuclear fission
The controlled release of nuclear energy in a reactor is accomplished by?
fission
A nuclear reactor produces energy from uncontrolled fission?
False, the fission in nuclear reactors is controlled with the movable control rods.
What is nuclear fission energy?
Nuclear Fission Energy is energy that is produced using fissionable elements. The most common is Uranium. Fission energy involves the fission heating water and turning a turbine, much like coal.
Nuclear energy is an alternate energy produced by?
The fission of uranium-235 nuclei
How is the sun an example of nuclear energy?
The sun's energy is produced by nuclear fusion (not fission) at the core of the sun.
What is an alternate energy source produced from the fission of uranium atoms?
This form of energy is the nuclear energy.
does nuclear fission produce energy?
A controlled nuclear chain reaction produces heat, driving steam turbines to produce energy.
How is a nuclear fission reaction controlled in a nuclear reactor?
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.

Is all nuclear energy produced the same way?
All useful nuclear energy produced on Earth comes from nuclear fission of U-235 and/or Pu-239, in a variety of different reactor designs. In the stars it comes from fusion of hydrogen, not fission.
