The sun is powered by nuclear energy?
Yes, it is
What is todays submarines powered by?
Nuclear Energy
Is the power grid powered by nuclear energy?
Yes, the electric power grid could be powered by electric power generated through nuclear energy.
What nuclear energy is the sun powered by?
thermonuclear fusion
What energy is used for a submarine?
new subs are nuclear powered
What does the human body is nuclear powered mean?
Everything, so to speak, is nuclear powered, because everything ultimately gets its energy from the Sun, and the Sun's energy is fusion nuclear power. This includes the food we eat and the raw materials we are made of.

Uranium is a highly reactive mineral that is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs and nuclear powered generating plants
What is a highly reactive mineral that is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs and nuclear powered generating plants?
Uranium is a highly reactive mineral that is used as a source of atomic energy for bombs and nuclear powered generating plants
What was the name of the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier?
The U.S.S. Enterprise, CVN-65, was the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier. A link is provided.
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).
Where is nucelar energy found?
Nuclear energy can be found most any where that matter exists. The sun is powered by nuclear energy. When atoms split or are combined energy is released and that is what we call nuclear energy. The splitting of atoms is called fission, and the fusing of atoms is calls fusion.
What was the name of the world's first nuclear powered submarine?
USS Nautilus
