No, it's not. Energy is lost through waste heat (from the reaction) and energy loss from the decay of the nuclear fuel at the heart of the reactor.

Is a nuclear generator 100 percent efficient?
No, no machine is 100% efficient.
What is the efficiency of a generator that produces 80 kilowatts of electric energy and has electric and mechanical losses of 20 kilowatts?
power in equals power output plus power loss so input power for this question is 100 kw now use efficiency formula 100/80 times 100 to get 80% efficient
Are some machines 100 efficient?
false A+
Explain whether or not a heat engine could be made 100 percent efficient by eliminating friction?
Even if the friction were totally eliminated, a heat engine still could not convert heat completely into work and be 100 percent efficient. Instead, the efficiency of an internal combustion engine depends on the difference in the temperature of the burning gases in the cylinder and the temperature of the burning gases in the cylinder and the temperature of the air outside the engine.
How loud is a nuclear bomb?
over 100 decibles, at least.
Is a nuclear generator 100 percent efficient?
No, no machine is 100% efficient.
Explain why machines are not 100 percent efficient?
because they are not proper
Could you make a generator that powers a battery and the battery powers the generator?
As a chain this would work, but generators and batteries are not 100% efficient, so you will lose energy at each step. Subsequent batteries and generators along the chain will become less powerful as the energy dissipates.
What percent of power drops before generator starts?
On a standby generator 100 percent of the power drops before the generator will start.
Are turbines 100 percent efficient?
Basically, almost NO physical process is 100% efficient.
How does one use a breeder reactor?
It would be used as a more efficient version of a Nuclear Reactor. While a regular nuclear reactor requires almost a factor of 100 greater in fuel amounts, a Breeder reactor uses much less and produces less waste.
What is the efficiency of a generator that produces 80 kilowatts of electric energy and has electric and mechanical losses of 20 kilowatts?
power in equals power output plus power loss so input power for this question is 100 kw now use efficiency formula 100/80 times 100 to get 80% efficient
How efficient is a small space heater?
it is not very efficientAnswerThey are 100 percent efficient.
If an automobile had a 100 efficient engine would it exhaust the surroundings?
f an automobile had a 100 efficient engine would it exhaust the surroundings?
What Arab countries have nuclear weapons?
Pakistan has about 100 nuclear weapons.
Are some machines 100 efficient?
false A+
Are electric heaters 100 percent efficient?
No. Nothing is 100 percent efficient. In any situation some energy will be given off in a form that is useless to us.
