What is the relationship between solar energy produced by the sun to nuclear energy your facilities use?
Energy produced in the sun arises from nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei, whilst nuclear energy used in power plants comes from fission of uranium nuclei. They are very different.
What percent of electric power in Ecuador comes from nuclear power plants?
0, Ecuador has no nuclear energy plants.
Is all nuclear energy produced the same way?
All useful nuclear energy produced on Earth comes from nuclear fission of U-235 and/or Pu-239, in a variety of different reactor designs. In the stars it comes from fusion of hydrogen, not fission.
Does 68 percent of eletrical energy in the united States produced by nuclear fuel?
No. Only about 20% of the nations energy comes from nuclear fission.
Why is the power produced by nuclear weapons so great?
the energy comes from the strong nuclear force, which is almost unbelievably powerful.
What kind of energy is produced when particle of metal are split into two?
Nuclear energy is released when uranium or plutonium nuclei are fissioned (split). Not clear what you mean by "particle", but nuclear energy only comes from a nuclear process, not a mechanical or chemical one.
What is an example of converting Nuclear energy to electromagnetic energy in an energy transformation?
In a nuclear reactor, nuclear energy is converted to thermal energy. The thermal energy is used to heat water to make steam which can be used to spin turbines. The turbines spin electrical generators. A lot of electric power comes from nuclear power plants.
What is the biggest energy source in North Carolina?
Most of North Carolina's energy comes from eco-friendly powerplants. Included, but not limited to: solar energy plants, wind farms, geo-thermal plants, and hydro-electric dams. Ironically, most of South Carolina's energy comes from nuclear power plants. In fact, South Carolina has more nuclear power plants per square mile than any other state in the US.
What happen to living things if green plants do not make food?
Eventualy they will starve to death as all our energy comes from foods produced by plants.
Why is the nuclear energy called nuclear energy?
Because it comes entirely from the Atomic Nucleus.
What is the origin of nuclear energy?
There are two major types of nuclear energy, fusion and fission. Fusion comes from hydrogen nuclei sticking together in the hearts of stars, which liberates energy. Fission energy comes from the splitting of heavy nuclei. A third type of nuclear energy comes from the slow decay of unstable isotopes, most generally through the release of alpha or beta particles. Both of these are the result of a transmutation of the isotope. Fissionable isotopes are produced naturally in supernova.
Where does geothermal energy come from nuclear or power plants?
Geothermal energy comes from power plants that pump water underground near magma. Iceland uses a lot of geothermal energy as there is an abundance of geological activity near the surface.
