Is nuclear energy a suitable alternative to fossil fuels?
Many people think nuclear is a suitable alternative. Nuclear energy is clean, with no carbon dioxide pollution, so it does not add to global warming the way that burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) does. However, nuclear power has its dangers too. Accidents at power plants can be deadly, and there is no easy way yet to dispose of nuclear waste.
In spite of the fact that nuclear power produces large amounts of energy it has not been utilized as an alternative to fossil fuels because?
There are many factors that have caused nuclear energy not to be used widely. It can be dangerous, and there have been several disasters or close calls involving nuclear power. It is also not as profitable as fossil fuels, so businesses are less likely to engage.
What do humans use fission for?
One use is in nuclear power plants to produce steam and turn turbines to generate electricity.Nuclear bombs ^.^
Use nuclear in a sentence?
It was a nuclear bomb. Everyone was afraid of a nuclear bomb. The nuclear power plant malfunctioned. The Cold War was about fear of nuclear attack.
In a nuclear power plant what is used to change water into steam?
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
What is the alternative to uranium for nuclear power?
Plutonium is an alternative; thorium as fertile material.
Is there an alternative to nuclear power that you could use?
yes such as power and electricity
Is there a better alternative if fossil fuels run out?
yes nuclear power
What type of energies are out there?
fossil energy alternative energy nuclear power
Who can use nuclear power?
Technically, anyone who lives near a nuclear power plant and, i suppose, gets permission, can use nuclear energy as a cheaper alternative to electricity
Why isn't nuclear power an alternative energy?
Possibly nuclear power is not considered an alternative energy because it is already established as big business. Or possibly because there are inherent problems with it to which proponents of alternative energy object. The power sources being promoted as alternative energy share certain things in common. One of which is that they tend to be renewable, which nuclear power is not, as it depends on nonrenewable resources. Another is that they have low carbon footprints, and the carbon footprint of nuclear power is significantly greater than the carbon footprints of wind, recent solar technology, hydro, and biomass. Another problem is that nuclear power has a potential for long term damage other technologies do not have.
What is the examples of source of energy?
nuclear power,fossil energy and alternative energy.
Is nuclear power a good alternative energy?
I think so, many others disagree!
What are the alternative sources used to provide energy?
solar power , wind power , nuclear power , hydroelectric , tidal power , biomass energy .
Why would you want a scientist working on a nuclear power plant?
Governments want scientists to work on a nuclear power plant to lessen the dependence of fossil fuels. The product of nuclear power plants are atomic energy, a clean energy alternative.
