Synthetic elements are produced in nuclear reactors and also by using what?
Particle Accelerators.

Particle accelerator
Electricity is produced by using the heat produced by splitting radioactive atoms?
Nuclear Power
How does it produce energy?
France relies largely on nuclear power plants to provide its electricity. It does not have significant uranium resources, meaning it must purchase its uranium from other countries. France, nevertheless, decided to take the jump to nuclear and now produces 70% of its electricity from nuclear reactors, using its 59 nuclear reactors. It also sells power to adjacent countries.
What are some drawbacks with using uranium to produce electricity?
- possible problem with pollution - possible problems with some accidents in nucear fuel plants or in nuclear reactors - nuclear wastes
What are examples of using uranium as an energy source?
Uranium is a nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
What is the most common coolant used in nuclear reactors?
The most common coolant used in nuclear reactors is water. There are light water reactors (using "regular" water), and the heavy water kind of reactor.
What is the uses of nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is used for:propulsion (e.g. for submarines and ice breakers)process heat (e.g. for district heating and industry)electricity generationwater desalinationmaterial testingradioisotope productionresearch and trainingradiation medical treatment
What regions in America is using nuclear energy?
See www.nrc.gov, there is a list of all states with nuclear power reactors.
What is a major disadvantage of using nuclear fusion reactors?
Today these installations are not surely controlled.
How is electricity produced at a nuclear power plant?
Nuclear power is the use of sustained Nuclear fission to generate heat and do useful work. Heat from nuclear fission boils water to make steam, which pushes a turbine. The turbine generates electricity using a magnet through a process called electromagnetic induction.
Who uses nuclear energy?
French, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Germans, British and Dutch are just a few using this type of energy. Search the internet for the List of nuclear reactors this is a comprehensive annotated list of all the nuclear reactors of the world.
