It is not stored for later, all you can do is damp down the reactor with control rods.
no it does not store chemical energy it turns into thermal energy:)
The nucleus of an atom can store potential energy, which is released when nuclear reactions occur, such as fission or fusion. This energy is harnessed in nuclear power plants or in nuclear weapons.
Plants store glucose for later use.
Energy cells store in lipids to use them later.
nuclear energy
Cells store energy in the form of lipids, primarily as triglycerides, within specialized structures called lipid droplets. These lipid droplets can be broken down through a process called lipolysis to release stored energy as needed by the cell.
they store them for later
Nuclear energy appears as heat, and it is not practicable to store this heat, it has to be used to produce electricity. You could regard the new nuclear fuel as a store, the nuclear energy is there, just waiting to be released, and it would be practicable to stockpile fuel to be used if supplies of uranium were interrupted for some reason. I am not sure how much fuel is in fact stockpiled by the power companies that own power plants, but it would be possible for the federal government to pay to store more, if they wanted to.
nuclear energy was first invented for a weapon of mass destruction (WOMD) but it was later developed as a main ingredient in the narcotic known as Molly (MDMA)
Mitochondrions store power in animal cells for later use. However, plants have chloroplasts to store energy.
Marie Curie's contribution to nuclear energy was primarily in the area of research on radioactivity. She discovered the elements polonium and radium, which are highly radioactive. Her work laid the foundation for later research in nuclear physics and the development of nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy is already stored as binding energy in the atom nuclei and is released either by nuclear fission, by nuclear fusion, or radioactive decay of these nuclei.So, I think the question could be:Can we store nuclear power?orCan we store the power (electrical, mechanical, or thermal power) released from nuclear fission or nuclear fusion? .The answer is: yes, we can store the power produced from nuclear fission or nuclear fusion.For example, thermal power produced from nuclear fission in nuclear power plants can be used to produce hydrogen by thermochemical water decomposition (at efficiencies higher than 90 %). This hydrogen could be used later either in fuel cells to produce electricity during peak electric demand periods or could be used in transportation to fuel internal combustion engines.Another example is to use the electricity produced in nuclear power plants, during off-peak electricity demand periods, to pump water from a lower reservoir to a high reservoir and then during peak electricity demand periods this water is allowed to fall down on turbines connected to electricity generator system and thus producing electricity.
