The source of fuel for fission reactors is?
"Binding energy." Absorption of neutrons by heavy elements, and fission of those heavy elements into lighter "fragments". The "lighter fragements" have a greater net binding energy than the heavier elements did.
What is the definition of uranium energy?
energy derived from uranium. Example: fission is a great method to extract uranium energy.
What is Uranium energy used for?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors.
Is uranium a energy?
Uranium is an element.
Is solar energy contained in uranium?
No. Solar= sun, Energy= energy. Believe it or not, uranium is not the sun.
Where the energy in a nuclear reactor comes from?
Excess binding energy of the uranium nucleus.
What form of energy is found in a nucleus of a uranium atom?
The same as is found in the nucleus of any atom, it is called binding energy which is a specific form of potential energy.
What is the source of energy in nuclear reactor?
The source of energy in a nuclear reactor is the release of binding energy, i.e. the binding energy that hold protons and neutrons together in the nucleus of the atom. Heavy nuclides, such as uranium, are split into lighter nuclides, such as cesium and barium (and many others, in a semi-random cross section). The binding energy required to hold the original uranium together is less than the daughter products and is released to the system in the form of heat and other radiation.

How is the energy stored in uranium?
Uranium-235 has the property of undergoing fission (splitting) when it absorbs another neutron, and this fission releases energy in the form of heat. Energy cannot be put back into the uranium, it is a one-way process which destroys the uranium nucleus and forms other lighter elements.
In what form the energy in uranium is stored and how it is converted into usable energy?
Under nuclear fission with thermal neutrons uranium release an enormous quantity of energy (202,5 MeV per one atom of 235U); the obtained heat is converted in electricity. The energy in the atomic nucleus is derived from the binding forces between nucleons.
Where does nuclear power receive its energy?
The energy of nuclear power comes from the binding energy that holds an atomic nucleus together. A heavy nucleus, usually uranium-235, splits into two smaller nuclei and releases three neutrons. These new nuclei have less binding energy than the original, and the excess energy is released as heat.
What is the definition of uranium energy?
energy derived from uranium. Example: fission is a great method to extract uranium energy.
What is Uranium energy used for?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors.
The energy produced by a nuclear reaction comes from what?
The energy in a nuclear reaction comes from the release of some of the residual binding energy that holds the nucleus together. When you split heavy isotopes, such as uranium-235, or when you fuse light isotopes, such as hydrogen-2, the total binding energy required is reduced by a small amount. This difference is released as heat and radiation.
Is the binding energy the same for all nuclei?
No. Binding energy differs from element to element,
What is binding energy contributed to?
Nuclear energy is based on the release of binding energy.
