Where and when has nuclear energy been used?
Nuclear weapon, nuclear (atomic) power stations. Also the Sun works on nuclear reactions.
What other names are there for nuclear energy?
Other names for nuclear energy include atomic energy, nuclear power, and atomic power.
What energy do nuclear power plants convert nuclear energy to?
Nuclear power plants convert nuclear energy to electrical.sometimes it can be used to enrich radioactive nuclei which can later used in missile warheads. But using thorium as a source of nuclear power we can't enrich nuclei but we can use for electrical power generation which might have more energy than former
Is Nuclear energy used in Ireland?
No, there are no nuclear power stations in Ireland.
How is nuclear energy converted to light energy?
In nuclear power plants, nuclear energy is used to produce heat, which is then used to generate steam. The steam drives a turbine connected to a generator that produces electricity. The electricity produced can then be used to power light fixtures, converting nuclear energy to light energy.
What energy is used today to power submarines?
Nuclear energy is used to power most modern submarines
What type of energy transformation occurs in a nuclear power plant?
In a nuclear power plant, nuclear energy is transformed into heat energy through nuclear fission. This heat energy is then used to produce steam, which drives turbines connected to generators to produce electricity. So, the energy transformation in a nuclear power plant is from nuclear energy to heat energy to electrical energy.
What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants use nuclear energy as their source of power. They harness the energy released from nuclear reactions (such as fission) to generate electricity. The heat produced by these reactions is used to create steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.
How are nuclear energy used?
Saying nuclear energy is like saying Norwegian furniture. Nuclear power/energy is used everywhere, in 2009 20% of all electricity in the US was nuclear origin.
What is the form of nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy as used in power plants results from fission of uranium235 and plutonium239
What process releases the energy that is used in nuclear power plants to generate electrical energy?
It is nuclear fission
Is radium a source of nuclear energy?
Yes, radium is a radioactive element that can emit radiation and is used in some types of nuclear reactions to produce energy. It is not commonly used in nuclear power plants but has been used historically in early experiments to explore nuclear reactions.
