When we obtain nuclear energy from elements in the earth like Uranium, what we are doing, is obtaining energy which produced by splitting up subatomic particles.
So we obtain the atomic energy from splitting up the atomic particles, not from the uranium itself, which is a natural resource. Since the splitting up of subatomic particles is completely "man-made", if you will and does not occur in the environment, Nuclear energy is a man made resource

What you think about nuclear fission?
simply splitting of a larger particle in to many smaller particles... when a faster elentron is made to collide over an atom then the atom will splits to produce a larger energy(heat radiations)... the term nuclear fission is because the fast electron will actually hits the nucleas of that atom to produce energy...
Is cement a man made of natural resource?
It is man made
Why is capital said to be an artificial resource?
its money MADE by HUMANS which means anything man made is artificial thats why its said to be an artificial resource
When fission is not controlled how is it used?
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
Is nuclear reactors man made?
Yes, they are man-made.
Is Hydrogen a renewable or nonrenewable energy source?
Hydrogen is a nonrenewable source of energy when used for nuclear fusion (which is still not a technologically attainable power generation mechanism). When used as an energy carrier for oxidation (e.g. fuel cell, and internal combustion engine) hydrogen is not an energy source. In such applications, hydrogen is a man-made resource.
Is soil a nonrenewable energy source?
Soil is not an energy resource. New soil is made all the time through the decomposition of vegetation. It is a renewable resource.
What is the most powerful man made energy source on earth?
Nuclear reactions like nuclear power plants ^_~
What is nuclear energy made of?
Nuclear Energy is made up of atoms that can be naturally made or man made.
What is the principal source of stellar energy?
well htey get there energy from burning the gasses that it is made of like our sun
What are two reasons that people don't use nuclear fusion as a energy source?
One good reason-it has not been made to work yet! We do of course use solar energy which is produced by nuclear fusion
What is a nuclear resource?
A nuclear resource is a special element that is ran through a nuclear reactor to power or propel and object. It is an object that appears as if it is radioactive or made from a nuclear element ran through reactors or still running .
What is the definition for Energy resource?
It means that there is energy made from resources.
What is nuclear energy i don't understand?
nuclear energy is a type of energy made by splitting atoms when the atoms split they make energy
Is the sun's energy a result of nuclear fission reactions?
The solar energy of the sun is actually from a nuclear reaction, hydrogen is fused into helium liberating a HUGE amount of energy, so YES, the sun's energy is ATOMIC energy, AND the primary source of all the energy we use on Earth today, from oil to hydroelectric, to atomic and geothermal, the Sun is the real source of all these forms of power.
Is solar energy a natural resource?
yes it is a natural resource as it is was already there and humans have not made it
How is wood made into an energy source?
It already is an energy source.It already is an energy source.It already is an energy source.It already is an energy source.
