What are the two main sources of energy that give to the national grid?
nuclear energy and burning fossil fuels to push turbines that make electricity. ************************************************* the two main sources are burning lots of fossil fuels and nuclear energy
Whats the benefits of the energy source for nuclear fission?
Fossil fuels ends soon and not all countries have reserves. Also nuclear energy pollutes less than burning fossil fuels.
Is heat nuclear energy?
Heat can be produced through release of nuclear energy, but there are many other ways of producing heat as well, burning fossil fuels for example.
How are nuclear power plants different from other plants?
The source of the energy is the nuclear reactor, rather than a furnace for burning fossil fuels.
What problems harnessed nuclear energy from fossil fuels?
Nuclear energy does not come from fossil fuels
What are the enviromental impacts with nuclear energy?
Far less than fossil fuels. The amount of nuclear fuel required to make a certain amount of energy is tiny compared to fossil fuels, and therefore produces far less pollution. Most of the pollution is from mining the nuclear fuel, the only pollution from burning the fuel is "heat pollution", where the cooling towers dump waste heat into a lake or ocean and the temperature changes the ecosystem.
What is a nonexample of nuclear fission?
Fossil fuel burning
How does nuclear energy conserve fossil fuels?
Nuclear energy conserves the use of fossil fuel because if there is a nuclear power station there is no need to burn fossil fuel in that region.
How is uranium processed into energy?
Nuclear fission of uranium-235 release fission energy.The fission energy is enormous compared to the energy obtained from fossil fuels.
Does Nuclear Power save energy?
Nuclear power plants generate electricity without burning fossil fuels, so do not release CO2, which causes climate change.
Which of these accurately describes a difference between nuclear energy and fossil fuel?
Nuclear fuel has a higher energy density than fossil fuels.
Is nuclear energy a fossil feul?
no
