Energy contained in bonds within a nucleus that is converted to kinetic energy.
What else can I help you with?
How many houses in the US where powered by nuclear power?
Nuclear power provides about 19 percent of total electricity, but when you use electricity you are not aware where it has come from
What is the percentage of current nuclear power plants that use nuclear fusion energy?
Zero, and it will stay zero for many years to come!
Do people use nuclear power in medicines?
Yes, radioactive isotops used for some medical scans come from nucular power.
What decade did the commercial use of nuclear power begin?
The commercial use of nuclear power began in the 1950's
In what decade did the use of nuclear power begin?
It could be argued that the use of nuclear power began in the 1950's when a nuclear reactor in the Idaho desert supplied electric power to a local community.
What energy do nuclear power plants create?
They use nuclear energy to produce power for the grid.
Who can use nuclear power?
Technically, anyone who lives near a nuclear power plant and, i suppose, gets permission, can use nuclear energy as a cheaper alternative to electricity
Can nuclear power actually power anything?
Yes, nuclear power can directly power things. But we usually use the thermal energy generated by nuclear reactions to "power" things. We collect the heat, boil water to make steam, and spin turbines (with an attached generator) to make electricity. A radioactive source generated heat to drive a thermoelectric generator to power up a "deep" space probe. (The probe will be far from the sun and solar panels won't be sufficient to power things up.) We've seen applications where the old Soviet Union used a "nuclear pump" (a nuclear bomb) to power a beam weapon. And designers have come up with nuclear engines for space ships. Both of these directly use the energy of nuclear power to "power" something. But we don't normally encounter direct use of nuclear energy to do work.
Why dont people use nuclear power plants anymore?
A lot of people use nuclear power daily throughout the world.
What do humans use fission for?
One use is in nuclear power plants to produce steam and turn turbines to generate electricity.Nuclear bombs ^.^
What is nuclear power use for?
It is used for electricity in nuclear power plants == == Nuclear power is used to heat steam which then turns turbines, which generate electricity in nuclear power stations and also to provide propulsion and power on board nuclear submarines.
What kind of nuclear resource does a nuclear power use?
What kind of nuclear resource being used in nuclear power depends on what kind of nuclear power is being used. For nuclear fusion, we use tritium and seawater to obtain deuterium for a DT reaction. In nuclear fission, we commonly use uranium ore.
