Energy sources other than fossil fuel are called what kind of resources?

They are called renewables. (though strictly, nuclear power is not a fossil fuel and is not renewable).They are called alternative energy sources.


What are the dangers of nuclear power and weapons?

Nuclear power has no dangers. It is the opposite. Nuclear energy is a clean source for power production. It is even cleaner than solar energy. Power generation from nuclear energy is cheaper than that produced from solar, wind, gas, oil, and wind energy sources. Nuclear radiation from nuclear power plants is 100 times less than nuclear radiation from coal fired power plants. Nuclear weapons are of mass destruction nature due to emitted nuclear radiation, heat, and pressure air waves.


Is uranium clean?

Uranium is a radioactive element; uranium is also a toxic element. But the nuclear energy based on uranium is cleaner than the energy based on coal or oil.


Why would the government be interested in the development of nuclear power energy?

It is much more cleaner and lasts a lot longer than fossil fuels. The only problem is where to put the nuclear waste.


Is nuclear energy cheaper than others than others?

yes i believe that nuclear energy is cheaper than others


Why is nuclear power cheaper?

Is it cheaper? I think costs of generated electricity are comparable with fossil fuels, but less than renewables. The trouble with nuclear is the high cost of building, certainly once the plant is built the ongoing fuel costs are less than for fossil fuels.


What are some benefits of a nuclear power plant?

Much cleaner than coal powered plants (no emissions) - although there is nuclear waste Produce relatively cheap energyProduces extremely large amount of energy compared to a coal plant


Does nuclear power station provides cleaner more efficient energy?

It's definitely cleaner than fossil fuels. It produces very little pollution, just waste, which can be stored safely. As for whether it's more "efficient", you need to define what you mean. Nuclear power plants use far smaller amounts of fuel than fossil plants.


Does nuclear fusion produce much less energy per atom than nuclear fission?

Nuclear fusion produce energy 400 times more than nuclear fission for the same mass.


Is solar energy more efficient than nuclear energy?

Nuclear Energy is able to produce a constant ammount of energy at all times where as solar energy does not.


Which of these accurately describes a difference between nuclear energy and fossil fuel?

Nuclear fuel has a higher energy density than fossil fuels.


How is nuclear energy and fusion energy different?

Nuclear energy as we use it now is from nuclear fission. Nuclear fusion is the joining up of nuclei rather than the splitting (fission), but it is not yet available on Earth.
