Nuclear energy results from fission of uranium or plutonium. No outside energy is needed. An assembly of uranium or plutonium with a moderator which slows down the fast neutrons produced in fission, will start to produce power when it is made critical. There are always occurring some spontaneous fissions in the fuel material, and all that is needed is to build a critical assembly, that is one where a chain reaction is set up, and the power level will build up until it reaches the desired level, whereupon it is stabilised by introducing some neutron absorption, and it will continue at power until the fuel starts to get depleted in fissile material, after which new fuel has to be loaded.
What else can I help you with?
Can nuclear energy work with other forms of energy?
Nuclear energy is converted to electrical energy in a nuclear power plant.
Which of these forms of energy is most concentrated?
nuclear
what are the 5 forms of energy and it's example?
The five forms of energy are: Mechanical energy - a moving car Thermal energy - boiling water Chemical energy - a battery Electrical energy - lightning Nuclear energy - nuclear power plant
Name 5 forms of energy?
Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Five forms of energy are nuclear, thermal, mechanical, chemical and gravitational.
Name 5 forms of energy mention your book?
solar energy,nuclear energy,chemical energy,hydro energy,potential energy
Is all energy nuclear?
No, not all energy is nuclear. Energy exists in many forms, such as electrical, chemical, thermal, kinetic, and potential energy. Nuclear energy is a specific type of energy generated from nuclear reactions in the nucleus of atoms.
How is nuclear transferred to other forms of energy?
Nuclear energy can be converted into other forms of energy through processes such as nuclear fission or nuclear fusion. In nuclear fission, the energy released from splitting atoms is used to generate heat, which can then be converted to electricity through turbines. In nuclear fusion, the energy released from combining atoms is harnessed in a similar way.
What forms of energy can be converted to heat?
All forms of energy can be converted to any other type. The questions is not what kind, but rather how much power is needed to do so. many of these conversions are out of human kinds grasp to create (or understand for that matter).
What are the five main forms or energy?
Mechanical energy, Electromagnetic energy, Heat energy, Chemical energy, and Nuclear energy.
What are the other four forms of energy besdies kinetic potential machanical and gravitational?
sound and heat ---------------------------------------------------------- Electromagnetic radiation, electrical energy, magnetic energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy,................
What are some examples of forms of energy?
Natural Forms of energy : Solar, Hydro, Wind, Heat energy Artificial : Nuclear, Muscular, Electric, Mechanical,
Which forms of energy is most concentrated?
Meat and Fats are mostly concentrated on in the food groups.
