This is done in nuclear power plants, the heart of which is a nuclear reactor which produces heat from nuclear fission, this heat then produces steam and hence electricity in a similar way to a fossil fired plant. there are over 100 such reactors in the US, and others in Canada, UK, France, Russia, Japan, and other countries.

The use of nuclear energy
What percentage of electricity does nuclear energy generate?
21.9%
What do you need to generate electricity?
It takes energy to generate electricity. Mechanical energy or thermal energy or nuclear energy , chemical energy,etc, etc,etc
What are the example of nuclear force?
The energy released when a nuclear power plant generates heat to generate steam to generate electricity. The energy released when a nuclear weapon detonates.
To reduce climate damage scientists hope to generate electricity from nuclear energy through what?
Scientists hope to generate electricity and heat through nuclear fusion as well as nuclear fission.
What elements are commonly used to generate electricity from nuclear energy?
Uranium or Thorium.
What industries rely nuclear energy?
The electricity generating industry

becase there weird
Nuclear power plants generate electricity from what?
From the thermal energy released by fission of uranium
What is the process by which a nuclear fuel provides the energy needed to generate electricity in a nuclear power station?

What type of energy needs very little mass?
Nuclear energy is a type of energy that needs very little mass. Nuclear energy is used to generate electricity and heat.
What are the negatives about using Nuclear Energy?
This is not correct. Assuming "Using Nuclear Energy" means using it to generate electricity in a reactor. A nuclear reactor is a power plant, that uses nuclear fission to eventually generate electricity. An atom bomb also uses nuclear fission to generate energy causing an explosion. However, due to fundamental differences between the two a nuclear reactor cannot explode like an atom bomb.
