A nuclear station uses the energy from nuclear fission to generate power, but fossil fuel stations burn fossil fuels that release CO2 into the atmosphere, instead of the steam that nuclear plants produce. Therefore, nuclear power is more enviormental friendly, though it has some very radioactive waste products that can be harmful if not disposed properly.

How does nuclear energy conserve fossil fuels?
Nuclear energy conserves the use of fossil fuel because if there is a nuclear power station there is no need to burn fossil fuel in that region.
How does nuclear energy differ from fossil fuels?
With fossil fuels we burn them to produce heat. With nuclear fuel we produce a nuclear chain reaction in a reactor which produces heat. Using the heat to produce electricity is the same for both types of fuel.
Describe the working of a thermal power station.?
1. Heat energy is produced by burning fossil fuel in a furnace or from the fission of uranium in nuclear or by hot gas in a gas-fired power station
How does fossil fuel power station work?

What fossil will be saved by increased use of nuclear power?
Use of coal, a fossil fuel, would be lessened by increasing the use of nuclear power.
How does nuclear energy conserve fossil fuels?
Nuclear energy conserves the use of fossil fuel because if there is a nuclear power station there is no need to burn fossil fuel in that region.
Is nuclear power a fossil fuel?
Nuclear power is NOT a fossil fuel.
What power station makes very cheap electricity after the station is built?
This is typical of nuclear plants where the fuel costs are low compared with fossil fuel costs.
Is coal a fossil fuel or a nuclear fuel?
Fossil
Is oil a fossil fuel or a nuclear fuel?
Oil is a fossil fuel.
How does a nuclear power station differ from a fossil fuel burning power station?
unlike fossil fuel power stations that burn coal, oil or gas nuclear power stations use atoms to keep it brief: the atoms in the reactor split apart and releases heat energy. unlike the fossil fuel power stations which just simply burn fossil fuels another difference is that nuclear power can be very dangerous and can have disastrous effects if something goes wrong, an example of this would be the disaster at Chernobyl in Russia. also the nuclear power plants produce a large amount of radioactive waste which can take millions of years to degrade. please add to this
How is uranium used as a fossil fuel?
Uranium is not a fossil fuel; uranium is used as nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
Is nuclear a fuel or a fossil fuel?
Nuclear energy is not a fossil fuel or any fuel at all. Radiation is used to create energy. The energy is "the Fuel" petroleum
What are the differences between fossil fuels and nuclear fuels?
fossil fuel is made by the nature and nuclear fuel is not made by the nature
Which of these accurately describes a difference between nuclear energy and fossil fuel?
Nuclear fuel has a higher energy density than fossil fuels.
How does nuclear energy differ from fossil fuels?
With fossil fuels we burn them to produce heat. With nuclear fuel we produce a nuclear chain reaction in a reactor which produces heat. Using the heat to produce electricity is the same for both types of fuel.
Is fossil fuel nuclear energy?
No because fossil fuel is its own energy from decayed things just like nuclear has its own.
