How is nuclear energy gather or created?

Nuclear energy is not gathered or created. There is a saying to go along with this: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form. That saying is called the Law of the Conservation of Energy. Nuclear is a type of potential energy so this concept applies to it. There are many ways nuclear energy can be used. Lets say submarines. Most people have heard of the nuclear powered submarines. They can stay under water for a long time because they have basically unlimited energy. The submarines are powered by a nuclear reactor causing a series of nuclear reactions. The submarine uses the nuclear reactions as power. Generally it will get converted to mechanical or electrical energy (both types of Kinetic energy).


Is nuclear energy the energy of 21st century?

i would say yes, but... its not THE energy, but one of them. solar is becoming number 1 pretty fast, and wind and nuclear are tied for number 2.. think dependability, and reliability, and cleanliness.


Is Iran nuclear dangerous?

it is quite unfair to say that having nuclear weapons with IRAN is dangerous because when pakistan is nuclear armed country and other nations are equipped with this nuclear facility because if IRAN is acquiring nuclear energy for gud purpose, then we shud not stop IRAN from achieving its energy purpose.

It is probably safe to say that anyone who was a serf was also poor.


Nuclear energy a boon or a bane?

Nuclear energy has both advantages and disadvantages, therefore I would say that it is a bit of both; we could describe it as a mixed blessing. From an environmental perspective, nuclear energy could be a major tool in combatting global warming, because it does not emit greenhouse gases, and therefore it can replace other energy sources such as coal burning power plants that do emit greenhouse gases. However, there are other energy sources such as solar power which are even more environmentally sound, so in the end, we may phase out nuclear power, if we can get our act together. Nuclear waste, and the potential for catastrophic nuclear accidents, remain real concerns.


How is nuclear energy put into a bomb?

Let's say somebody makes an atomic bomb using U-235. The nuclear energy was in the U-235 all the time (since it was created in a supernova). The people making the bomb simply gather (and enrich!) the uranium.


How could nuclear energy which is classified as a nonrenewable energy resource be reclassified as an inexhaustible energy resource?

Nuclear energy is a non-renewable source since there is a very tiny amount of Uranium-235, whose fission results in nuclear energy. If a more abundant element could be used in nuclear reactors, such as, say, nitrogen or oxygen, it would effectively become inexhaustible. However, current technology does not allow for this since these atoms are too small to be accurately and repetitively bombarded (which is a key part of the fission process).


Is there a substance that can absorb sunlight and create energy?

if you are talking about living things, plants can absorb sunlight through a process called photosynthesis. But if you aren't talking about living things, then I would have to say solar panels. They act in the same way as plants, only they aren't alive. Some companies use solar energy instead of nuclear energy or something else with dangerous waste products, because solar energy has no waste and is a clean way to get energy. Although you have to get a lot of solar panels to equal the amount of energy poured out by nuclear plants. But if you want to go safe, solar is the one for you.


Who made nuclear energy?

It follows from the laws of physics. Of course you may say that a Creator decided what these laws would be, but this is speculation.


Did Venelueza President said that nuclear energy will the coutry would?

I say it before the world: Venezuela is going to start the process of developing nuclear energy, but we're not going to make an atomic bomb, so don't be bothering us afterward.Hugo Chaves.


What would the mitochondria be if you were to compare it to the government?

Coal mines or nuclear power plants I would say. Some sort of energy system, that takes in fuel and spits out energy in abundance.


Is nuclear energy a boon or a curse?

Some of each I suggest. Advances are rarely so clear cut as to say one or the other.
