What type of energy uses magma or hot dry rocks to generate electricity?
Geothermal energy uses the heat of underground rocks to generate electricity. This is a renewable resource, because the rocks continue to be heated by uranium deposits in situ.
What type of energy requires a uranium and a reactor?
Nuclear energy, because uranium is a nuclear fuel for nuclear power reactors.
What type of fuel is uranium?
Uranium is nuclear fuel not renewable.The source of energy is the nuclear fission.
What type of energy is uranium used to produce?
Nuclear energy via radiation.
What is used to generate energy?
Energy can not be created or destroyed. Therefore, to "generate energy" you need some other kind of energy - you convert one type of energy into another.
What type of energy source does nuclear energy require?
uranium, plutonium,etc etc
What type of energy does hydro enegry generate?
Electricity.
What type of energy in a uranium in reactors?
This is the energy of nuclear fission.The energy of fission is gigantic by comparison with the energy of fossil fuels.
What type pf heat does uranium emit?
Uranium don't emit directly heat; under nuclear fission the kinetic energy released and the energy of radiations is converted to heat and after to electricity.
What type of power is derived from uranium and thorium?
This power is the nuclear energy from the nuclear fission.
What type of energy comes from nuclear uranium atoms?
Uranium is an element, not energy. It can be converted into energy by nuclear fission.
What type of energy needs very little mass?
Nuclear energy is a type of energy that needs very little mass. Nuclear energy is used to generate electricity and heat.
