What are the dangers of nuclear power and weapons?
Nuclear power has no dangers. It is the opposite. Nuclear energy is a clean source for power production. It is even cleaner than solar energy. Power generation from nuclear energy is cheaper than that produced from solar, wind, gas, oil, and wind energy sources. Nuclear radiation from nuclear power plants is 100 times less than nuclear radiation from coal fired power plants. Nuclear weapons are of mass destruction nature due to emitted nuclear radiation, heat, and pressure air waves.
What energy do nuclear power plants convert nuclear energy to?
Nuclear power plants convert nuclear energy to electrical.sometimes it can be used to enrich radioactive nuclei which can later used in missile warheads. But using thorium as a source of nuclear power we can't enrich nuclei but we can use for electrical power generation which might have more energy than former
What is true about nuclear power?
extracting energy from nuclear fuels is more expensive than extracting energy from fossil fuels
Adavntages and disadvantages for nuclear energy?
One advantage of nuclear energy is that it can produce far more power than other sources of energy including wind energy. One disadvantage of nuclear energy is the radioactive waste that is produced.
Does nuclear power provide more energy than wind turbines?
Yes
Is wind energy less expensive than nuclear energy?
Wind power can be quite costly over time, but nuclear power creates wastes that cost a lot of money to dispose of, let alone getting the nuclear rods in the first place. However, nuclear power can provide much more power than wind power, so they are more or less equals.
What is true about power?
extracting energy from nuclear fuels is more expensive than extracting energy from fossil fuels
Does Canada have nuclear energy?
Canada has 7 nuclear power stations (some with more than one reactor) which produce about 15% of Canada's electrical power.
Are nuclear power stations better for the environment than power stations that burn fossil fuels?
Yes
Is nuclear energy an example of non conventional source of energy?
====================== I don't see why nuclear energy is not considered conventional -- the western nations in general have nuclear power plants to produce nuclear energy. The power plants have been run for decades and nuclear power is a mature technology. I would consider it conventional. What I think is unconventional is when someone claims his "new" method can produce more energy than what he puts in -- basically getting a free lunch, like a perpetual motion machine. ====================== == ==
What are some advantages of nuclear?
Cheaper, More energy than fossil fuel, Better for the air
What are facts about nuclear power plants?
Extracting energy from nuclear fuels is more expensive than extracting energy from fossil fuels.
