it depends, where. The sun or the factory. The facories uses nuclear fission. This means they split atoms, usually uranium. Then it heats up quickly. The factory must use water to cool it down. The steam turns turbines to make energy. If they are not enough water, then there will be a melt down. In the sun. It uses nuclear fusion. This means it combines atoms together. this happens in the core. then energy is radiated to the convection zone, then the energy reaches the surface and radiates its energy in to space.

What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
How is nuclear energy used to produce electricity?
Nuclear energy, or nuclear power, uses exothermic nuclear processes to produce electricity. Nuclear power plants provide around 10% of the world's electricity.
What is one difference between using nuclear energy and biomass energy?
Nuclear energy does not produce carbon dioxide.
How are Nuclear energy transformed into usable energy?
Nuclear energy is used to produce steam. This steam used to rotate turbines
What is the method used to produce nuclear energy in power plants?
nuclear fission
What are the primary uses of nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is used almost entirely for the production of electricity. The electricity is mostly distributed on electric grids to customers. Some nuclear energy is used on ships to produce electricity for propulsion and other shipboard use. There are other uses, but they are comparatively minor.
Is nuclear energy and nuclear fuel different?
Nuclear fuel is the fuel used to produce nuclear energy.
What do nuclear power plants have to do with nuclear energy?
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
What Is produced in nuclear energy in power?
Nuclear power stations collect nuclear energy, and produce heat energy and electrical energy.
When generators are spun they produce nuclear energy?
No, generators produce electrical energy when they are spun. Nuclear energy produces steam which spin generators.
What is the main use of nuclear energy?
The main use of nuclear energy is to produce electricity. Nuclear energy is also used in the field of medicine and military purposes.
What kind of energy does the sun produce?
The sun produce light and nuclear energy
Does nuclear energy produce a lot of energy?
Yes.
What is nuclear energy for?
To produce electricity
What nuclear reaction is currently used to produce nuclear energy in nuclear reactors?
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
How is nuclear energy used to produce electricity?
Nuclear energy, or nuclear power, uses exothermic nuclear processes to produce electricity. Nuclear power plants provide around 10% of the world's electricity.
does nuclear fission produce energy?
A controlled nuclear chain reaction produces heat, driving steam turbines to produce energy.
