Plants built today will have a lifetime of 60 years. Is that "long-run" in your terms?
They use nuclear energy to produce power for the grid.
Yes, there is nuclear energy in nuclear bombs. It is released in a few microseconds when they are detonated.
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.
nuclear fusion
Fireworks certainly don't involve nuclear energy!
From the nuclear forces. An U-235 atom has a higher energy level than its daughter products; this is used in nuclear fission.
We don't create it, We harness it, The uranium exceeds above 3000 degrees and explodes.
Nucler plants create nuclear energy by separaiting atoms
to create electrity

An erg is a unit of energy equal to 10-7 joules.
Nuclear energy is not a fossil fuel or any fuel at all. Radiation is used to create energy. The energy is "the Fuel" petroleum
