The fuel can easily be transported anywhere by truck, so you are not dependent on local supplies of coal or gas. You do need a good supply of cooling water, but that is the same for any power plant. You also need a large system load to absorb the power, there is not much point in putting a plant in a remote area and having to build a long transmission line.

What 's nuclear?

Nuclear is any activity related to the nuclei of atoms as nuclear energy, nuclear fission, nuclear engineering, nuclear physics, etc.


This nuclear energy is pure energy not made of any particle?

Gamma radiation


Disease that affect nuclear energy?

Their ain't any disease that affects nuclear energy. Nuclear radiation can cause leukaemia and other cancers if above a certain level.


Is nuclear a fuel or a fossil fuel?

Nuclear energy is not a fossil fuel or any fuel at all. Radiation is used to create energy. The energy is "the Fuel" petroleum


Can nuclear power plants produce material that could be converted?

Nuclear energy is released from the nucleus when U235 fissions, it appears initially as kinetic energy of the fission fragments, these are then stopped in the fuel material and turned to thermal energy. We can't use the nuclear energy directly.


What locations would be suitable for geothermal energy?

any where hehe


Does nuclear energy have any uses?

yes, generating electricity


Where is nucelar energy found?

Nuclear energy can be found most any where that matter exists. The sun is powered by nuclear energy. When atoms split or are combined energy is released and that is what we call nuclear energy. The splitting of atoms is called fission, and the fusing of atoms is calls fusion.


What is an example of chemical energy to nuclear energy?

An example of chemical energy being converted to nuclear energy is a nuclear power plant. In a nuclear reactor, uranium atoms undergo nuclear fission, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat. This heat is then used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.


Where is the source of nuclear energy found?

Nuclear energy is gained from atoms of any kind, thus the name 'Nuclear'. We generally only use heavy, radioactive atoms for nuclear energy though, as they contain lots of energy and are easier to split than others typically. The most common element used in Nuclear Energy plants is Uranium, which is mined naturally in many world locations.


What type of energy does a nuclear power plant create?

A nuclear power plant creates electricity by harnessing the energy released from nuclear fission reactions in the reactor core. This energy is used to heat water, produce steam, and drive turbines that generate electricity.
