The only usable way at present is in a nuclear reactor using a fission chain reaction, involving uranium fuel.

In the future it is hoped to use nuclear fusion, but this is a long way off and many scientific and engineering problems have not been solved.

What is actually mean by nuclear energy?

Just another way of producing regular electricity.


Does Nuclear power plants on Earth create energy in the same way as the Sun?

No, nuclear power plants get their energy from fissionof the heavy element uranium, the sun gets its energy from fusion of the light element hydrogen.


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.


Where does nuclear energy come from?

it comes from nuclear fissionNuclear energy is the fission of certain, materials such as uranium or plutonium,within a nuclear reactor. This produces heat, which turns water into steam. This steam rises, driving a turbine which creates electricity for commercial and public use.


Why is the atomic reactor important today?

Nuclear or atomic reactors are a way to create electrical energy. If they are run properly, they do not pollute the air like coal plants.


In what way is nuclear energy useful?

In producing electricity


How can you produce energy in future by nuclear power plant if there is no source?

The source of nuclear power is the nucleus of an atom; any atom. As long as there is mass in the universe there will be a source of nuclear power. Even if in the future we run out of the radioactive material we currently use to fuel nuclear power plants, it would be foolish to assume that we will never again be able to harness nuclear energy in another way.


Why was nuclear energy created?

Humans did not create nuclear energy, it was created shortly after the big bang when the first stars formed and began fusing hydrogen into helium. Later supernova explosions created elements up to uranium, which we can use as fuel in nuclear reactors and nuclear bombs.


What is another way that a generator can produce electricity?

Another way a generator can produce electricity is through a steam turbine. Steam is created by heating water using various energy sources such as coal, natural gas, or nuclear reactions. The steam then drives a turbine connected to a generator, which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.


How is electricity created by nuclear energy?

There are several way to create electricity from nuclear energy. The most common way is to generate heat from the controlled fission of 235U, releasing binding energy, using that to heat water to steam, and using the steam to spin turbines that drive generators.


Why nuclear power is not the best way?

Bcoz production of nuclear energy form harmful radioactive elements.
