What do humans use fission for?
One use is in nuclear power plants to produce steam and turn turbines to generate electricity.Nuclear bombs ^.^
Use nuclear in a sentence?
It was a nuclear bomb. Everyone was afraid of a nuclear bomb. The nuclear power plant malfunctioned. The Cold War was about fear of nuclear attack.
What is a alternative to nuclear power?
wave power, tidal power, solar power and wind power, hope this helps <3
In a nuclear power plant what is used to change water into steam?
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
How many people have died due to accidents and pollution from nuclear power plants compared to how many have died due to accidents and pollution from coal power plants?
There technically is no "pollution" from nuclear power, the only by product is steam. The transport and storage of spent nuclear fuel is extremely secure and safe. The only time we are in danger of nuclear radiation are if the reactor vessels that house the nuclear rods are damaged or melt....which is extremely rare and only happens with a massive failure in the chain of events that govern and sustain the supply (in theory, a deliberate attack on a power plant would also cause a spill, too. Yet, so far, that hasn't happened). In the end, thousands of people die every year from the burning of fossil fuels, where as virtually nobody dies from the use of nuclear power. Over 85 of France's power usage comes from nuclear power, after all.
What can be used as a substitute for nuclear reactors?
No substitute for nuclear power reactors especially if there is no available fossil fuel.
Where can one find a list of available nuclear jobs?
One may find a list of the available nuclear jobs on Nuclear Street. They maintain postings for nuclear power plants and provide resource for both internal positions and outsourced positions.
What are the power plants available in Tamil nadu?
Thermal power plant,Hydro power plant,Nuclear power plant,Diesel power plant.
Why nuclear would not be a good alternative to hydroelectric power?
If hydro power is available, go for it. Most places don't have enough water or height to produce much hydro though. I hope nobody has built nuclear where hydro is available.
Why does nuclear power need to be disposed of carefully?
because it can always explode right there and then
Three cities in which nuclear power should be used?
Nuclear power is not usually sited in cities, I'm not aware of any plants that are. They are always sited in non-urban areas.

Why are nuclear power plants rarely found in the desert?
Nuclear power plants require huge amounts of water for cooling, a resource not available in large quantities in most deserts. However, your question is not completely true as there are nuclear power plants in the desert. Palo Verde in Arizona is an example.
What are examples of nuclear power?
nuclear power
How are nuclear power plants?
by nuclear power ¬.¬
How is nuclear energy available in your community?
Through the national grid system for distributing electricity from power stations
Does a UPS have to be plugged directly into an outlet?
A: An UPS should always be plug in that is what it is for provide power when there is none available. It should be in stand by when there is power available.
