What advances have been possible from the nuclear bomb?
Nuclear power plants, submarines and aircraft carriers propelled by nuclear reactors. In the future, may be all sort of vehicles could have small and very protected nuclear reactors instead of today's fuel.
How does the sun power nuclear reactors?
It doesn't. What could have given you this idea??
What is the problem with using nuclear energy for use as bus fuel?
Nuclear reactors are potentially dangerous and could not be allowed in vehicles on normal public roads
Is a nuclear power plant same as nuclear power station?
Yes, it generally is but a nuclear plant could refer to nuclear reactors which are basically the things that produce the power. So in essence, yes, a nuclear plant is the same thing as a nuclear power station
What element is a byproduct of all nuclear reactors?
Plutonium Could it also include Neptunium? This I believe is also man made.
How much of the world's energy is from nuclear power plants?
The world's power needs could be met with 7500 well placed reactors.
Is nuclear nonrewable or renewable?
It cold be considered renewable as in some nuclear fission reactors; called breeder reactors; more fuel could be produced than what is consumed and on the other hand uranium is one of the most abundant minerals on earth crust and water. On the other hand, fusion nuclear energy is based on unlimited resources of deuterium and tritium.
Is fission energy inexhaustible?
Yes, it could be viewed as inexhaustible through use of breeder nuclear reactors that can produce more fuel that what is consumed.
What is the form of energy provided to the public by nuclear reactors?
It could be process heat (e,g, for district heating and water desalination) or electricity
Who found nuclear energy?
Many scientists contributed to the WW2 Manhattan project. Enrico Fermi first demonstrated a chain reaction in a nuclear 'pile', so he could be considered the pioneer of power reactors.
Could Japan's reactors produce a nuclear explosion?
No, the fuel used won't be weapons grade, just industrial grade. The fuel will get very hot though and could cause non nuclear explosions, which will cause radioactive dust to be released into the surroundings.
Can Nuclear fission occur in quarks?
Currently, it can't. May be it could be in future.
