Good way to use nuclear fission?
In nuclear reactors, to produce electricity
If Nuclear fission is used to produce electricity why isn?
Because people want to harm the earth they don't care for some reason
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.
How does nuclear fission spin a turbine?
The heat energy resulting from nuclear fission is used to produce steam that spins the turbine.
How do nuclear fusion differ fundamentally from nuclear fission?
Nuclear fusion doesn't produce energy.
Good way to use nuclear fission?
In nuclear reactors, to produce electricity
Which nuclear reaction is used on earth to produce electricity?
Nuclear fission
What form of nuclear energy is currently being used to produce electricity in the US?
The only form of nuclear energy currently used in the US, or anywhere in the world for that matter, to produce electricity is nuclear fission. There are ongoing experiments to attempt to use nuclear fusion, but the technological problems with that have not paid off yet.
How does Thorium produce electricity?
I believe it can be used for nuclear fission, similar to uranium or plutonium.
What kind of atoms are in nuclear energy?
A fission of energy atoms generating nuclear energy that is used to produce electricity.
How does nuclear power plants produce electricity?
Using nuclear fission, generators are turned.
What nuclear reaction is currently used to produce nuclear energy in nuclear reactors?
We use nuclear fission in nuclear reactors to tap nuclear energy.
If Nuclear fission is used to produce electricity why isn't nuclear fusion used in the same way?
Lot harder to create and maintain.
Name a nuclear process in which a huge amount of energy is released and which can also be used to generate electrical energy in power stations?
The processes of fission, fusion and fission-fusion-fishion all release energy. Currently, only fission reactors are used to produce electricity.
What do humans use fission for?
One use is in nuclear power plants to produce steam and turn turbines to generate electricity.Nuclear bombs ^.^
How is electricity produce inside a nuclear plant?
Nuclear fission produces heat energy that produces steam The steam spins the turbines that spins electric generators and hence producing electricity.
Why is uranium so special?
The nuclear fission of uranium-235 release a huge amount of energy.This energy can be used in nuclear reactors to produce electricity/heat or in nuclear weapons.
