What is harnessing nuclear energy?

Nuclear Power


Why scientist are interested in harnessing the power of nuclear fusion as an energy source?

What are the positive and con's about nuclear energy in 3rd world countries?

Nuclear.


Why would you use nuclear power?

Due to limited availability of non-renewable resources and incompetence in harnessing renewable sources of energy, we have to find some alternates to meet the energy requirements and nuclear energy is one of them. Since nuclear power is able to meet large portions of our energy requirements, therefore large importance is given to its use and development.


What substance is responsible for harnessing the energy created by the nuclear reactor?

Energy is released by the nuclear reaction which causes the fuel rods to heat up, and this energy (heat) is transferred to the cooling water. So the substance that harnesses the energy is water, which then produces steam in the secondary circuit (that is in a PWR). I'm not sure if this is what is being asked though.


Is it fair that we have nuclear energy and others don't?

Nuclear energy is potentially very dangerous and best reserved for technologically advanced countries.

What are some alternate forms of energy?

Some forms of alternative energy (to fossil fuels) are Geothermal Energy, Solar Energy, Nuclear Energy, Wind Energy, Tidal Energy, and Hydroelectricity. Of these, only nuclear and hydroelectric power are well developed.Geothermal Energy- "Thermal energy contained in the earth; can be used directly to supply heat or can be converted to mechanical or electrical energy"Solar Energy- "The energy transmitted from the sun in the form of electromagnetic radiation"Nuclear Energy- "All forms of energy released in the course of nuclear fission or nuclear transformation"Wind Energy- "Power generated by harnessing the wind, usually by windmills"Tidal Energy- "The energy in a tide flowing from a basin into an open sea"Hydroelectricity- "Electric power produced by hydroelectric generators. Also known as hydropower"


Why don't we want all countries to have access to nuclear energy?

From what I understand the issue is not really the access to nuclear energy but, the access to nuclear material. If some more "rogue" and "dangerous" countries had access to nuclear material and enriching plants they could easily create nuclear bombs which, these countries being more unstable than most, they could use for an attack that would kill many people.


Do all European countries rely heavily on nuclear energy?
