Reactors of the BWR and PWR types
In a nuclear power plant
Nuclear power involves splitting the nucleus (of uranium or plutonium). No other method of power production does this
nuclear energy is fairly cheap for many reasons. Mainly, the life time of a nuclear power plants is 60 years and that the nuclear fuel contribution to the cost of generated kilowatt.hour is very low.
They are expensive to build but relatively cheap to run because the fuel costs are lower.
Nuclear power Gives almost infinite electricity. like the sun, it has nuclear fusion, and nuclear fusion is infinite power. we are not that far with technology. so we have nuclear separation. now i don't know if that's the correct English term, but separation too gives allot of cheap electricity. The advantage Of nuclear power is allot of cheap Energy.
Only if you don't consider the cost to the future.
It has to do with getting the required power in the most cost effective method.It has to do with getting the required power in the most cost effective method.
====================== 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. ====================== == ==
Nuclear power itself is not a natural resource; rather, it is a method of generating energy using nuclear reactions. The primary natural resource used in nuclear power is uranium, which is mined from the earth. Other materials, such as thorium, can also be utilized in nuclear reactors. While nuclear power is a low-carbon energy source, it relies on these natural resources for fuel.
Clean, cheap energy that will never run out produced in a relatively small power plant. It's a no-brainer.
Because it is only nuclear reactors that have a 'core'.
nuclear energy gets the power from the atoms getting split that's nuclear but i don't know what peat is sorry
