Each fission of a U235 nucleus produces 200 Mev which in terms of Joules is 3.2 x 10-11 Joules. This is a very small amount, which shows just how many fissions are occurring every second, for a reactor which produces 3000 Mw thermal

How is nuclear energy sustainable?
nuclear energy is produced by taking advantage of natural decay in large nuclei of atoms. atoms with large enough nuclei can only be produced by very large scale nuclear fusion such as stars during a supernova, and making it on earth would take enormous amounts of energy. So no, nuclear energy is not totally sustainable, but a small amount of fuel lasts a long time. For this reason energy can be stored by scientifically making large nuclei atoms and utilizing them later.
Where is the nuclear energy produced in a nuclear reactor?
In the core.
Is nuclear energy produced extracted or refined?
It is produced as refined.
How does nuclear energy can be produced?
It does can be produced because my banana said so.
How is the sun an example of nuclear energy?
The sun's energy is produced by nuclear fusion (not fission) at the core of the sun.
The amount of energy produced during nuclear fission is related to?
It is related to the specific nuclear reactor design including the nuclear fuel amount and the reactor control system and the energy extracting medium (coolant) capacity.
The amount of energy produced during nuclear fission is related to what?
It is related to the specific nuclear reactor design including the nuclear fuel amount and the reactor control system and the energy extracting medium (coolant) capacity.
What is one statement about nuclear energy that is not true?
It is not true that: Carbon dioxide is produced during nuclear reactor operation or during nuclear fission.
What chemicals are in nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is not produced by chemical reactions

What Is produced in nuclear energy in power?
Nuclear power stations collect nuclear energy, and produce heat energy and electrical energy.
What kind of nuclear energy is produced by hydrogen bombs and stars?
This is produced by nuclear fusion
Is the produced from a meteor is produced by nuclear fusion?
No, the impact energy of a meteor is all from kinetic energy, nothing nuclear is involved.
What are the pros and cons of using Nuclear energy?
The kWh produced by nuclear energy is the cheapest. It is a clean energy that does not pollute the environment. It gives chance for people to work during its construction and operation. It is reliable source of energy.
What happened during nuclear decay?
New elements(or isotopes of decaying element) are produced and energy is released
What country depends on nuclear energy?
Many countries have a sizeable amount of nuclear produced electricity, perhaps France has the largest proportion at around 80 percent
