False. Nuclear power is used to generate about 25% of the electricity in the United States, and about 75% of the electricity in France. Nuclear power is far safer than coal-fired power plants, and produces no harmful emissions, if you care about such things.

Should nuclear energy be used to generate power?
It can be used to generate power but it is very dangerous yet little nuclear energy can generate ALOT of power.
How much energy can nuclear power use if it was in the world?
I think you must mean how much energy can nuclear power supply , not use, and it is in the world-where else? In the US there are about 100 nuclear reactors and they supply about 20 percent of the nation's electricity
What should generate electricity for recharging batteries?
recyclable resources
Why should you build more nuclear power plants for electricity?
Because fossil fuels will run out. We need electricity in megawatt amounts. The only viable alternative is nuclear fuels.
Should nuclear energy be used?
I think so. In any case, you have to accept what your electricity company sends you.
Should you use nuclear power to generate electricity?
no because you could have an accident

Are nuclear fusion dangerus?
Well, fusion bombs are, but fusion reactors should not be (if we can build them).
What should generate electricity for recharging batteries?
recyclable resources
How does a gas-powered station work?
A gas fired power station burns gas to heat water to generate steam to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. (That should be a record number of verbs used in one sentence ;-) A coal fired power station burns coal to heat water to generate steam to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. A nuclear power station uses the heat of nuclear reactions to heat water ... A hydro power station uses falling water to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. A wind turbine uses the wind to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity.

Should England adopt nuclear power?
England adopted nuclear power many years ago, in 1956 in fact (Calder Hall magnox reactors)
What step was taken to insure the nuclear reactor was safe in chernobyl?
The RBMK reactors at Chernobyl were probably the most unsafe reactors ever designed and built. They should never have been built.
Should you use nuclear power if electricity ever had a shortage?
tomatoes
How do nuclear fusion reactors work?
I found the website K1 Project very helpful. They had several articles underneath their Learn/Energy tab which should answer any questions about nuclear fusion.
Why should you build more nuclear power plants for electricity?
Because fossil fuels will run out. We need electricity in megawatt amounts. The only viable alternative is nuclear fuels.
